A study by the University of Florida has found that starting to diet seems to double the odds that young girls will begin to smoke. That the nicotine in ciggarettes can surpress your appetite. It is more likely for young girls who diet consistantly are more likely to smoke.
In the last decade there has been a decrease in smoking among young people, because of all the campaigns and policies against smoking, but it is still a big problem in the world. And the practices of dieting are going up.
Smoking to surpress the appetite may be one reason for dieting young people to start smoking, but dieting may also make you more vulnerable to smoking.

i guess to kill the hunger.
When I am forced to do something I want it even more, or I seem to find a new poison to fill the gap. When your at school and are short changed in the money department a smoke is always free. If you have your own pack, or simply ask for one. The only time I get turned down is when they only have one left. Why are some things sooooo hard!
Not too surprising.
Smoking supresses appetite, so of course it is used by dieting girls. However, I am not that stupid. if I'm not eating, I'm not going to double my odds of dying. There are other ways to supress appetite for sure.
