A new nicotine lozenge, 3 times more effective. Is nicotine good for weight loss?

[Arkan]

A new form of nicotine replacement therapy is three times more effective. The lozenges are more effective, because they can be sucked at regular intervals throughout the day. It takes just seven seconds for the nicotine released by a lozenge to impact on the brain. Here is a link to the news http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_1622000/1622356.stm
Is nicotine good for weight loss in this form, say along with a thermogenic?

Very good question...bump.

 

[skinnyfat]

I would guess it is good because it reduces the appetite and is a stimulant--that's why all those anorexic models smoke. This way, you can save your lungs from cancer.

But, I wouldn't stay on for too long because you don't want to get addicted.

yes good one.
I have always wondered about the effect of nicotine on weigth loss. its a fact that smoking (i.e. nicotine) ups the BMR. Would take some kind of replacment therapy thus make it easier to lose weigth?

Oh and people report the gum tastes like battery acid, and its best to get a citrus flavor even then that only disguises the flavor for the first 20seconds or so.

 

[Enock]

oh and start out slow like ECA, 2mg is too much for some people.

upset stomach, headache, buzzyhead, eradic heartrate.

I might try it, but the increased vein thing has me a lil weirded out, as cool as vascularity is I don't know if I would want more veins being that the chicks don't seem to dig em.

 

[diamonddiceclay]

smoking does help with weight loss-but is probably less healthy than being fat

 

[Arkan]

Enock, I think you could be right about tobacco initiating growth of veins and capillaries because researchers at Stanford University in the United States have found that nicotine can stimulate the growth of blood vessels.
Those new lozenges look like they might have some use. Diamonddiceclay we are not talking about cigarettes we are talking about nicotine.

Nicotine likely increases leptin or leptin sensitivity -- the data is a bit mixed. It also decreases Neuropeptide-Y, which is kind of the "anti-leptin".
