Some people say it's true, people I know say they got fat after they quit, but I never saw any differences. If you are asking because you WANT to be thin, don't bother with smoking.
Allegedly it kind of stifles your food cravings because it makes everything taste the same and whatnot. But I don't think the act itself makes you thinner, no.
Smoking generally "can" make you lose weight if you were a smoker in the past who stopped smoking.
When you quit smoking people generally fill the void or craving with food and gain weight. When they start smoking again they eat less due to the lack of a smoke craving and will lose weight.
Smoking itself does not make you thin though indirectly the habits do.
It depends on what you smoke because some substances can make you lose weight and others can make you gain weight. Either way it still causes more harm than good.
I think it is because you are getting that "fix" and instead of grabbing food, you grab a cigarette. this is why when people quit smoking, they often gain weight because instead of grabbing a cigarette, they grab a bite to eat
It does suppress your apetite a bit, but not enough to warrant starting to smoke. Quitting smoking is largely where you gain weight actually, because a lot of people replace the cigarette with food it's called an oral fixation (get your head outta the gutter on that term already 8) ).
Trust me, don't start smoking to try and lose weight. I've been a smoker 6 years, I'm into my 2nd day of quitting and I'm hating life right now cuz of the withdraws, it's incredibly hard to stop.
I don't think smoking makes you thin. I know it makes you rot and suffer some diseases. It's not good for ya, or anyone on this earth. Whoever smokes has a death wish.

Kurt Vonnegut said it best when he said something along the lines of "smoking is the legal way to commit suicide."
If someone has been smoking for a real long time and then quits, you'll gain weight like crazy, thats where this rumor comes from. But no, smoking will not make you thin.
Meh. Nicotine is a stimulant, which could decrease appetite and increase energy, but it'd have to be in larger and more lethal doses. Not recommended for someone who wants to lose weight.
