Segundo pesquisa realizada em Miami nos EUA, com 587 mulheres, a maioria das mulheres fuma por medo de engordar!
O problema é que o cigarro até pode inibir os habitos alimentares, mas em compensação provoca uma sério do outrs problemas á saúde cmo o câncer...

Why Do Women Keep Smoking?
New research points to "fear of fat" as a primary reason for keeping the cigarette habit. The study (appearing in Addictive Behaviors) investigated 587 women and found that smokers "endorsed a thinner preferred body shape and scored lower on body satisfaction than never-smokers".
Unfortunately smoking may also produce wrinkled skin, thinning hair, cracked fingernails, yellowed teeth and terrible breath.
The research also showed that women smokers have a skewed body image compared with those who never smoked. When looking at silhouette pictures of different body types - the smokers chose an ideal body shape that was slimmer than the non-smokers chose, and further from how they perceived themselves as looking.
How accurate is the possibility of fat gain when quitting smoking?
The study author Cynthia Pomerleau suggests the following rule of thumb (via Science Daily):
*One in four women who quit smoking will gain less than five pounds,
*Another two out of four will gain five to 15 pounds.
*Only one in four women who quit will gain 15 pounds or more.
Quitting smoking and maintaining weight will require a combined effort focusing on improving body image, creating better eating patterns - and staving off the nicotine addiction.
A challenge indeed. Any former smokers out there
