Translated version

Myth: Smoking helps lose weight.

Partially true, but at a high cost. Nicotine can slightly speed up metabolism and suppress appetite. However, the damage that smoking causes to the heart, lungs, and the entire body is incomparably greater than any potential "benefit" for weight control. There are many safer and healthier ways to manage weight.

Original version

Mitas: Rūkymas padeda numesti svorio.

Iš dalies tiesa, bet su didele kaina. Nikotinas gali šiek tiek pagreitinti medžiagų apykaitą ir slopinti apetitą. Tačiau žala, kurią rūkymas daro širdžiai, plaučiams ir visam organizmui, yra nepalyginamai didesnė už bet kokią galimą „naudą“ svorio kontrolei. Yra daug saugesnių ir sveikesnių būdų reguliuoti svorį.
