  What flesh?

  I expect this:

  en.wikipedia.org/…/Cigarette_smoking_for_weight_l…

  Cigarette smoking for weight loss is a weight control method whereby one consumes tobacco, often in the form of cigarettes, to decrease one’s appetite. The practice dates to early knowledge of nicotine as an appetite suppressant.

  They mean the nicrotic flesh rotting off later in life, getting a foot or a leg amputated is the fastest way to loose weight after all. Worked a year in a ward for smoking patients, the smell is so haunting…

  They seem to imply that if instead of eating a snack you have a cigarette, then you’ll lose weight

    Yeah, “flesh” is just such weird wording though. Like saying “reduces meat”
