what? a doctor that knows more than just what the AMA programed him to say?
when looking for that "something missing" i found this:

and being that this "hidden desire" of mine is satisfied by MCT ( medium chain triglyceride ) ( can act like a sugar but does not need insulin, like fructose? ) , i may be on to something
so is my ecig generating stomach acid which is then generating that "something missing" ?
that response is usually missing if i vape TV AC + MCT ( no nicotine)

While there may be something (or multiple somethings) in cigarettes that suppress the appetite, nicotine on its own is an appetite suppressant. My doctor explained it to me in simple terms: nicotine replicates a particular neurotransmitter and bonds to a particular receptor in the brain. This effectively fools the brain into thinking that there is food in the stomach.
One effect of this is that the brain then tells the stomach to start producing acid for digesting the food. Thus a post-meal cigarette can actually contribute to efficient digestion, but between meal smoking just causes your stomach to have excess acid with no food to soak it up. And thus it can contribute to gastritis, GERD, hiatus hernias, and ulcers. And possibly even stomach cancer, even though nicotine itself is not believed to cause cancer with the tissues it comes into direct contact with.
