Information on "Why Smokers Are Skinny"

I would like to refer you to an article in Science NOW the online Science Magazine. It's title is "Why Smokers Are Skinny" and it reports on recent research that Behavioial neuroscientist Marina Picciotto of Yale University and her associate Yann Mineur have done. They were stuying one particular nicotine reeptor and Yann Mineur noticed that a side effect of this receptor was the mice were eating less. This article explains more about this interesting research. Anyone that has struggled with their weight while quitting will be interested in their findings I think. The article in Science NOW was by Sarah C.P. Williams on June 9, 2011.

Sometimes when quitting tobacco, it helps to understand what is happening in your body as you live with the down side of cravings, head aches, weight gain, and feeling unwell.

I hope you will find and read this article and that it will help you to understand what is happening to you and allow you to use the information to work on appetite control.
