One of the really interesting things about the nicotine 1 in cigarettes is that it works in two ways.

香烟中尼古丁的其中一个非常有趣的特质是,它以两种完全不同的方式工作。



All About Nicotine

尼古丁的特质



When you take a long drag, it acts as a tranquilizer, but when you inhale 2 in short puffs 3, it acts as a stimulant 4. And one of the side-effects of stimulants 5 is that they suppress the appetite.

如果你长期吸烟,那么它会起到镇定剂的作用,但如果你只吸几口,它则会成为兴奋剂。而兴奋剂的其中一个副作用则是抑制食欲。



One of the most successful ad campaigns for cigarettes encouraged women to smoke instead of eat. And the fact is that cigarette smokers 6 do weigh less on average than nonsmokers. Research shows that quitting smoking can make you gain between five and twelve pounds.

其中一个最成功的香烟广告活动就是鼓励女士们用吸烟代替吃饭。实际上,吸烟者通常的确比不抽烟的人体重要轻。调查发现,戒烟会导致体重增加五到十二磅。



Stop Smoking!

停止吸烟!



Physicians recommend moderate exercise like walking for thirty minutes, three times a week. Not only does exercise help control weight gain, it also helps ease the stressful feelings associated with quitting.

医生建议进行适当的锻炼,比如每周三次进行步行,每次步行三十分钟。运动不仅可以控制体重,而且能放松因戒烟导致的紧张情绪。



You can also try to limit alcohol and cut down on foods high in fat, but keep in mind that most experts think that it isn’t a good idea to go on a strict diet and try to quit smoking at the same time. You should focus on one health challenge at a time.

你也可以控制饮酒并减少高脂肪食物摄入,但请谨记,大多数专家不建议在戒烟的同时进行节食。你应该一次锁定一个健康目标。
