Contrary to popular belief, smoking does not help to reduce appetite and thus reduce weight. In contrast, heavy smokers consume more calories, say scientists, who work in Washington School of Medicine .

This theory allowed to confirm a special experiment, which was attended by women aged 21 to 41 years. All study participants were divided into four groups. The first group included smokers who have excess weight , The second - plump women who do not smoke, the third - not dependent on tobacco slender lady, in the fourth - smokers of normal weight. During the experiment, participants were offered him a kind of wine. All women have tried a few different puddings, then had to determine what the most sweet pudding, some - the most fat. It was found that female smokers have fulfilled this task worse than those that do not depend on cigarettes.

According to researchers, smoking affects the taste buds, breaking sensitivity to taste . That is why the ladies addicted to nicotine was more difficult to discern the degree of sweetness and fat dessert.

Scientists believe that the sense of taste due to the dullness of female smokers consume a hearty meal, trying to " dopoluchit "Those taste that they are not available. This eventually leads to weight gain. Often there is a kind of vicious circle: the woman smokes to get rid of the obsessive hunger, and smoking provokes her to eat more.

By the way, recently, Austrian researchers reported that men and women under the influence of smoking different reasons. Representatives beautiful part of mankind reach for a cigarette, in a state stress . But the stronger sex prefers to smoke in the state pacification   and rest .

Women start smoking before, and while it is more difficult to give up this nasty habit. The fact that the female body is more intense treatment Nicotine . Accordingly, the syndrome manifests itself too rapidly. Under his influence, the woman often troubled emotional distress and even depression , Resulting in a smoker again returns to his habit. In addition, the Austrian doctors argue that women " learn "The habit earlier than men. According to statistics, in Austria, in the age of fifteen smokes 21% of girls and 19% boys.
