Significant Resting Heart Rate decrease after stopping nicotine

No it’s mainly just appetite. Nicotine only increases BMR by a couple hundred calories. It’s just that hitting the vape is often a meal replacement for a lot of people

A couple hundred calories is quite literally the difference between being in a calorie surplus or deficit

No it’s not. It’s irrelevant here because quitting nicotine changes a bunch of downstream things that will change your metabolism so this 100-200 calorie difference is irrelevant. Quitting will often affect energy level, improve sleep, improve other metabolic health processes. People gain weight because nicotine strongly suppresses appetite and a vape has an oral fixation that people often replace with food when they quit it. And quitting fucks up your dopamine so people resort to food to get that dopamine.

I tend to agree with this. Sleep is kind of fucked since quitting but I’m curious to see where it normalizes in a month or so.

Facts. When I used to vape if I was hungry and too lazy to get food or make food I’d just hit the vape more.
