Nicotine versus appetite

[SABOTEUR]

Looks like it's different for each individual.

Perhaps it depends on how much nicotine you are getting now,
compared to when you were smoking real cigs.

You're probably right. I currently vape 36mg, though I don't know how my vaping pattern compares with how I previously smoked.

I think there's a psychological factor involved with me too, because most of the time it was simply more convenient to smoke than eat ().

Vaping, though, seems to have removed any choice I previously had concerning "either/or". I can't ignore hunger pangs any longer; my stomach demands that I have to eat now.

I don't think my appetite has increased since vaping but since everything tastes so much better...

Well you know I've been eating more. I've gained about 10 pounds in the last month.

I would assume with different flavored juice, it could curb your appetite. Also, possibly, having something to smoke, in general, could curb your appetite just as a distraction.

I know that when I play certain video games, I wont get up for anything for at least 4-6 hours. It is pretty bad actually.

I think everyone's aware that nicotine, certainly at least from real ciggies,
decreases your food appetite dramatically.

Apparently it satisfies the same neuro-receptors as eating food (esp fatty foods).

But I'm sitting here in front of the computer constantly vaping on 30 mg liquid,
suddenly thinking, god I'm hungry.
But then I've not felt the need to eat since last night until now = 24 hrs.

Since it's probable that we all get much more 'simple' nicotine from e-cigs
than we used to from real cigs, I was wondering if we're all going to waste
away while reading this forum!

This is one of the biggest reasons I started e-cigs.

Since I quit analogs (cold turkey) 3 months ago, my eating habits have increased to make up for the lack of cigarettes.

I figured just trying to satisfy the oral fixation would work. I started just using 0-nic eliquid. However, I realized my appetite wasn't affected. I ordered some liquid that contains nicotine and have found that going through the motions of smoking and having the nicotine is a one-two punch K.O., for my appetite.

I know some people might think that getting back on nicotine is a bad idea, I don't. I always end up back smoking anyway (regardless of diet) and have noticed that cigarette smoking cuts into my appetite a lot the only problem with that is it just kills me slowly with all the other bad shít that's in cancer sticks.

So yeah, in short I started e-smoking as a preemptive strike against becoming a "smoker" again and as a diet aid. So far so good
