Can Snus Make You Fat?

[Old Frothingslosh]

When I first started snusing I would never eat anything while the snus was in my mouth. Now I can eat about anything while a portion is in my mouth. Hmmm, maybe I should switch to los.

yeah i do drink with portions but i wont so much as crack a glass of water with a prilla in yet

I remember a study citing that snus is correlated with obesity. With that said, correlation is not equivalent to causation -- perhaps users of snus gained weight from quitting cigarettes. The numerous variables make it difficult to pinpoint if snus causes obesity.

I eat like a pig and drink like a fish but I'm like a rake - it's probably because I'm extremely active. I chain snus.

Nicotine's mood-altering effects are different by report: in particular it is both a stimulant and a relaxant.[31] First causing a release of glucose from the liver and epinephrine (adrenaline) from the adrenal medulla, it causes stimulation. Users report feelings of relaxation, sharpness, calmness, and alertness.[32] Like any stimulant, it may very rarely cause the often catastrophically uncomfortable neuropsychiatric effect of akathisia. By reducing the appetite and raising the metabolism, some smokers may lose weight as a consequence.

This is taken from wikipedia so obviously it may not be correct.

I have lost 18 pounds since I started snus. I am watching what I eat and I got to the gym 6 days a week but I have noticed that since I switched from flavored snus to original I have been losing weight faster and I no longer crave sweets. I love Coola but I am reluctant to order it since whenever I use it I drink A LOT of soda. I drink diet coke but it is still garbage and the carbonation expands your stomach so you A. already feel fat so you eat more B. I tend to be hungry more since my stomach is stretched.

I am beginning to think air and water will make me fat.

Nicotine does not make you fat but sitting instead of walking around to find someplace to burn a cig will... at least thats what happened to me.

I thought great now I can sit at my computer station all day with a lip full of good and nothing will change other then the tire that grew over a few years.

Started to force myself to get up and walk the inside of the building these days

Unless you actually eat the snus, I don't think it has any calories. When I 1st started snussing, I think I lost some weight, because I was snussing and not snacking.

[Mordred]

For what it's worth, I gained weight when I stopped smoking and started snusing instead. I had no problem whatsoever with craving cigarettes or anything, but I think that snus lacks the ability that cigarettes have to reduce appetite.
