Evidence indicates that middle-aged smokers weigh less than nonsmokers and that smoking cessation reliably produces weight gain, but recent studies have questioned the weight control "benefits" of smoking in younger populations (the time that people typically initiate smoking). The relationship between smoking and body weight was evaluated in all U.S. Air Force Basic Military Training recruits during a 1-year period (n = 32,144). Those who smoked prior to Basic Military Training (n = 10,440) were compared to never smokers or experimental smokers. Results indicated that regular-current smoking had no relationship to body weight in women (p > .05) and a very small effect in men (p < .05). Ethnicity, education, income, and duration and intensity of smoking did not affect the relationship between smoking and body weight. It was concluded that smoking has no effects on the body weights of young women and minimal effects in young men.
有证据表明，中年吸烟者的体重比不吸烟者轻，而且戒烟确实会导致体重增加，但最近的研究对吸烟在较年轻人群（即人们通常开始吸烟的年龄段）中的体重控制“益处”提出了质疑。在一年时间里，对所有美国空军基础军事训练新兵（n = 32,144）吸烟与体重之间的关系进行了评估。将基础军事训练前吸烟的新兵（n = 10,440）与从不吸烟者或尝试吸烟者进行比较。结果表明，经常吸烟目前对女性体重没有影响（p > 0.05），对男性体重的影响非常小（p < 0.05）。种族、教育程度、收入以及吸烟的持续时间和强度均未影响吸烟与体重之间的关系。研究得出结论，吸烟对年轻女性的体重没有影响，对年轻男性的影响微乎其微。
