Best Answer

The nicotine in cigarette smoke is a stimulant which increases your metabolic rate. This is one of the reasons why people gain weight after quitting. However, the health damages of cigarettes far outweigh any benefit of metabolic rate stimulation. And there are many ways to increase your metabolic rate which are health-supporting, like exercise.
