Why is everybody so skinny?

Why are almost all of the people i know that smoke skinny? I would think people would be getting heavier from munchies but everybody stays the same. i know it helps people with eating disorders gain wieght but how come out of all those people i know who have been smoking for a while, none of them gain any fat?

Depends on many factors.
And what you did is using inductive logic to claim that EVERYBODY that smokes is skinny.
It depends on the metabolism of the person too. A person could eat the same amount of food as someone else and one gets fatter than the other... That's what metabolism...
Also, depends on the physical activity part...
Might be, that all people who smoke are also active and thus, they are skinny.
It really depends but I can assure you not ALL people who smoke are skinny.

No idea, but I hate being skinny. I currently am 5'11" and 160 lbs. I hope to get up to 170 or 185 by lifting weights and adding lean muscle mass.

I was just saying that all the people that smoke that i know, which is the people in my school are all skinny.

im skinny too, 6'2 and 165lbs im tryn to bulk up by lifting too

im 5'9" and I weigh 140.
Idk everyone says I dont look it because im so skinny but then I take off my shirt and they see why, cause all the actual weight I have on my body is muscle. (Im a health and exercise freak)

I'm tiny, if that counts . Lots of my smoking friends were also lean, but I knew a few fatties, too!

All the people i smoke with are skinny too, its wierd. Im not skinny but im not out of shape either...Im 6 foot and weigh 260.

just about everyone i know that smokes is skinny too well except my dealer he's pretty fat. im 6'2" and weigh 185 but everyone always thinks i weigh like 150 i guess i look really light?

I stopped getting the munchies a couple of years after I started smoking. Perhaps that's a fairly frequent kind of occurrence.

Um, don't know...

I have a friend who's um...a little overweight, and he used to smoke like 3 times a fucking day and only now has slowed down to like a couple times a week.

I used to be really fat, before I even started smoking. I'm 5'10" I weighed about 350 in high school/year after highschool(2-3 years ago), now I'm at about 190. When I started smoking I was at maybe 275-300 and it didn't really have any effect on my weight loss, I am vegan now, so even if I do get the munchies I don't really eat unhealthy food. I haven't smoked in about a month now and I've started feeling hungry a lot more, for the first few weeks I barely ate anything but now I feel like I want to eat all the time. I have enough self discipline now to keep myself from over eating, but I definitely notice the craving.

I never got the munchies when I started smoking on a regular basis. I think it's one of the things that goes away with regular use, like dry mouth and getting really fucked up.

yea, i lost my munchies aswell... and it drives me to get off my ass and go do something

haha i wonder this too, Im 5'9 164, not fat but not skinny, when your high a box of 12 donuts under 10 minites sounds like childs play haha

I've definitely stopped eating as much when im high but I still love food regardless. I think its all about metabolism though. Perhaps alot of the people on this forum are teenagers and can still eat anything they want and not gain any fat. I used to be that way but im 17 and starting to get a belly >.< I thought i'd be extremely skinny my whole life but it feels good to finally gain some weight im 6'4 and 180 pounds...pretty good.

Alot of people I know just use money they would usually use on food for weed. Im not saying they dont eat, they just eat less and cheaper. This is probably one reason that some smokers are skinny.. Ive done it before and went from 330 to 285. (Im 6 foot 4)

Well, I'm overweight and 15 ...way too over weight for my own good....
I weigh 235...I used to weigh more but I guess weed helped in controlling how much I eat depending on the times I don't smoke, usuallythe 3 day humps which give me less apetite and excess energy.
All the daily smokers here who stop for a couple days know what I'm talking about.

Now when I do get high, that's when weed just flips me the finger because of how much I eat, but recently no matter how high I was, Ive been able to control my self better.


Being overweight fails.

i know a lot of people that smoke that skinny but its because they are all into sports. i dont think im fat and niether do people that meet me, im 6 foot 215lbs and everyones like what do you weigh 180? im like yeah that would be nice try adding like 35-40lbs

'Cause im SkinnyP.

I heard from one of my friends that when your high it will increase your metabolism so that may be the reason why no one you know gets fat when they smoke. Don't quote me on it though just a guess.
