I have never heard a guy say that, only women claim that. Is it true, or is it just a false effect because the person believes it and tricks her brain into believing it also?

While we are on this topic, did you know doctor’s used to prescribe smoking for stomach pain!!!

Smoking must be avoided in any case.

Male or female, nicotine combines with a number of neurotransmitters in the brain and contribute to the following effects:

**Dopamine: *Pleasure, *suppress appetite**
**Norepinephrine: *Arousal, *suppress appetite**
**Acetylcholine: *Arousal, cognitive enhancement
*Vasopressin: *Memory improvement
*Serotonin: *Mood modulation, *suppress appetite**
**Beta-endorphin: **Reduce anxiety / tension

ask any smoker if they feel hungry after a smoke and they will say no. Thats why they all smoke after a meal.
