Nicotine acts as an appetite suppressant via central nervous system activation of hypothalamic satiety pathways independent of tobacco-derived toxins.
Researchers asked people how hungry or full they felt using a simple line scale after giving them gum with nicotine and/or caffeine.
Chewing gum with nicotine makes you feel less hungry and more full, so you might not want to eat as much.
When caffeine is added to nicotine gum, it makes the nicotine work even better at making you feel less hungry and more full.
A strong combo of nicotine and caffeine made some people feel sick, but even when those people were removed from the data, the appetite-suppressing effect still held up.
