Cigars and Appetite

[Lopaka]

Some cigars you have to smoke after a big meal because they are very powerful.

According to what I've read. Small amounts of Nicotene, which is what you get smoking a cigar without inhaling, act as a mild sedative. Relaxation can promote your appetite. At higher levels, like you get from inhaling cigarettes, it acts as a stimulant. It would suppress your appetite in this case.

I know it sounds weird, but they say small doses of stimulants or amphetamines can actually focus your mind and calm you down. At first, I thought it was crap, but then I started thinking. they treat hyperactivity with a low dose amphetamine. People drink a big cup of coffee to wake up, but drink a small cup of tea to relax. In the studies in that article I read, people who smoke a cigarrette first show depressed vitals, then show stimulated vitals towards the middle of their smoke. I'm not sure how this works, but it does. Strange, huh?

Makes sense because I feel like I have better conversations when I am smoking, whether it be from being more focused or more relaxed or a combination.

A large part weight gain when quitting smoking ciagettes is mental.

Cigarette smokers are used to putting something in their mouths every hour. When you quit, this oral fixation is still there. It's only natural to shove food in there.

I get the munchies after a strong cigar.
