Nicotine is a stimulant. it does boost your metabolism. And it's about as addicting as cocaine. Maybe a little more so.
I'm always amused by those who say they smoke because they like it.
Of course you like it. Your addicted brain is telling you you like it.
I remember an old Bob Newhart routine about the discovery of tobacco.
"And what do you do with this "Tobacco" Sir Walter?
Okay let me get this straight. You roll it up and stick it in your mouth?
Then what?
You set fire to it??"
