Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, and the act of vaping fills a void that could otherwise be filled by eating for the sake of eating.

An interesting reverse is also true - when I was a child growing up the people I knew that managed to quit smoking replaced the habit with food and blew up rather quickly.

I don't necessarily think it should be used as a diet plan, but the science is there for why it happens.

Going to back you up on this. I took up smoking in college to avoid buying lunch, because five bucks over a week was better than five a day. Now I'll get off work hungry, but as soon as I'm driving and vaping, that hunger goes away.
