Is vaping an appetite suppressant like smoking?

[Doc Holliday]

Do you find that vaping has the same effect?

I know when I was younger and smoked 2 packs a day I could go all day without feeling hungry.
(Yeah... real healthy I know )

Since I "quit" smoking 8 years ago I have really put on the pounds... about 45 to be exact.
Right now I'm on again/off again/backsliding/bumming around smokers and it kills my appetite for a little while but then when I don't smoke for a few weeks I gain back every ounce and then some more extra.

That really was the only "positive" side to smoking and I can only hope that vaping nic might have the same benefit.
How about it?
What say you?

I don't see vaping as an appetite supressor, but I have found that certain flavors can satisfy my sweet tooth and prevent me from reaching for candy. I may not be getting enough nicotine into my system to supress my appetite though.

It gives you the something in your hand feeling,so your not reaching for snacks.I wouldn't say it suppresses your appetite.I haven't lost any weight.

Sorry to disappoint but I have the same experience. Since my smoking has decreased to close to zero, I feel I am eating all the time!

I used to jump in my car without breakfast, do whatever I had to do and suddenly feel hungry at 4 PM (all the while, packed with energy). Now, if I don't eat something at the start of the day, I feel I am going to pass out

I've lost about 12 lbs and gone down one clothing size.
Why eat a vanilla cupcake when vaping it tastes just as good.

 

[Deranged Doll]

It's not an appetite suppressant BUT it has curbed the wicked sweet tooth I have. Add in there that you have to up the intake of water and in a little over 4 weeks I've lost 15 pounds as of yesterday.

My problem now is that I want to drink some of the juices because they're so good LOL.

To me i think it could go both ways.As when i get a sweet tooth instead of reaching for fattening snack i usually drip a few drops of Waffle,Butterfinger or other sweet flavor vape at 0mg nic and that satisfy s my sweet tooth and i am getting 0 nicotine so it is just for the flavor .And i have actually gained some weight since vaping,but i am not complaining as i was very underweight

I don't feel that vaping is an appetite suppressant but over the last two years I've lost 15 lbs. I don't vape sweets so that doesn't enter the equation for me as far as vaping being a junk food substitute.

To me i think it could go both ways.As when i get a sweet tooth instead of reaching for fatty snakes i usually drip a few drops of Waffle,Butterfinger

I never had an appetite for fatty snakes or thin snakes for that matter.

Sorry Chris -- couldn't resist. =)

 

[ls1chris]

I don't blame you i would have done the same thing lol.That is what i get for multitasking hahah.I

i chain vape, and it definitely suppresses my appetite...but only if i go with 18mgs or above...and vaping that much nicotine also makes me super wired (which is why i'm now at 6-12mgs).

 

[MagnusEunson]

Hrmm.. I'm the odd one out here, for me it's definitely an appetite suppressant. I don't do sweet vapes generally but those help my sweet tooth too. But if I've vaped a 18/24mg strength juice I'm not hungry for hours. -Magnus

Eating is also a hand to mouth thing, even if vaping isn't an appetite suppressant it is a hand to mouth habit so you aren't inclined to eat when not smoking.

 

[SuziesMom]

I just dropped to 24 mg from 36 mg and am HUNGRY quite a bit. Not "oh I guess I could nibble on something" or peckish, but HUNGRY. When I was at 36 I needed less food than I did with analogs, but walked around in a nic fog. 24 seems to be the sweet spot for me at the moment, and I've stocked up on protein bars to compensate.

 

[microfreak540]

I will be honest, I do feel like I do not want to eat after vaping for a while. But I do not really think it is considered an appetite suppressant like cigarettes. Might just be the nicotine doing its job lol. But idk man.

 

[btight]

Since I started vaping, I just notice I like the flavor options I have as opposed to sticking sweets or junk in my mouth. I like the fact that I can drink all I want, w/o the intoxication or calories. So, maybe it's a mind thing w/the olfactory (sense of smell) system making me think I'm having these things. If not, then it's fun just vaping

 

[dspin]

It does for me

 

[Doc Holliday]

Hmmm, mixed results across the board.
Hopefully I'll fall on the right side of that equation.

I know that when I start a no smoking binge I chew so much gum in the beginning that my jaws ache.
I'm counting on vaping to fill that void.

i would agree with this - for me it stops the snacking when bored as im vaping instead

 

[HippyJeepChick]

I am a lot hungrier now a days. When I vape peanut butter it just makes me want to go get a tablespoon of peanut butter. lol I eat a lot of fruits or low carb low fat snacks with fiber throughout the day to keep me feeling full so I don't snack a lot on junk food.
