DNR vape = gayHow Nicotine/Vaping Helps You Looksmax
Introduction
In this post I will be going over how nicotine as a substance affects your looks and potentially helps you look better. We will go over multiple reasonings for why it is beneficial, both physically and even socially. We will also go over certain methods of how to consume/do nicotine (EX: vaping), and some negatives and how to counteract them if possible. If you do not care for the concept or already know most of the benefits, just click off of this post.
The reason for this post is because I have both a personal anecdote with how vaping helps your looks and also I have researched this subject a bit to help both myself and now others understand its benefits. One year ago, I was a bit over 200lbs. I had always had a large appetite and even though I wrestled varsity for my school for hours everyday, did training in a gym, and ran miles every day, I couldn't lose weight. Then I looked at my friends who vaped, and realized through old pictures of them that they had all lost weight since starting. I then took it upon myself to do some research and started vaping myself after coming to the conclusion it was beneficial. Now, I am around 155lbs and I have done much less exercise then when I was heavier (while still keeping most of my muscle).
Positive Affects of Nicotine
1.) Nicotine Boosts Metabolism
Nicotine is a stimulant substance, which means it causes a boost of metabolism in the body. The percent of metabolic boost in the body is estimated to be around 7-15%. This is a very large boost in baseline metabolism. The fact that it boosts metabolism is why most smokers and nicotine users are underweight, and when they get off nicotine, start to gain back weight at a fast rate. This by itself is a great reason why nicotine can help people lean out, but this is far from the only benefit.
2.) Nicotine Suppresses Appetite
When Nicotine enters the body, it has been shown to reduce the appetite in the consumer. This by itself causes weight loss, but by being compounded with the boost in metabolism Nicotine produces, leads to even greater weight loss results. This process is incredibly complex and even though I have done some research on the subject, I cannot even fully comprehend how, but scientists have in the following articles:

3.) Nicotine Is A Diuretic
Nicotine is a diuretic, meaning it causes increased rates of urination. Why is this a benefit? It causes water to be flushed out of the body, causing a leaner appearance due to a lower amount of water weight. Water storage in the face and body will be flushed out more regularly, meaning that is will increases the levels of apparent leanness. It is also known to reduce puffiness in the face due to this. This is why Caffeine and more powerful Diuretics are popular amongst looksmaxxers, with a specific case being Pneumo having an entire popular post dedicated to diuretics and why they're beneficial when he was an active member on the platform. He also had multiple posts showing his interest in diuretics, which will be listed below, but the two listed are only two of many he made. The reason I bring him up is because he had great photos and phases where he was incredibly debloated and his before-after pics show major difference in bloating levels, which can act as evidence that diuretics are extremely effective. Granted, nicotine isn't an incredibly powerful diuretic, but it still works and does the job, and I have seen personal benefits from it. Yes, I AM using his name to give my claims more credibility. Sue me.

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE HOLLOW CHEEKS
IT'S BECAUSE YOU DRINK WATER. THIS IS A REMINDER OF MY OLD THREAD. https://looksmax.org/threads/stop-drinking-water.773260/ Your body cannot retain water if it doesn't have any. Notice how you always look leaner in summer? How your cheeks are more hollow? Well, that's because it's hot...looksmax.org
4.) Nicotine Helps Socially
This should go without saying, but Nicotine and specifically vaping is an incredibly common substance used by people in first-world countries, but even poorer or less developed areas. This can help give you a better social standing with those who also vape or consume nicotine and give you a common ground to build better relationships off of, or at least make simple conversation. It simply gives you higher rapport with those who also consume nicotine.
That isn't the main reason why it helps socially however. Nicotine is known to boost dopamine and norepinephrine. This means that when vaping, consumers are more likely to be much happier, alert, focused, more willing to engage socially, can temporarily blunt anxiety due to dopamine (which itself can help improve eye contact, a steadier demeanor/personality, and less awkward movements), have quicker responses in conversations, less zoning out, and more smaller effects tied to the ones listed. This is a huge help for those with any sort of social anxiety or who wish to boost their position when it comes to interacting with others.
Possible Negatives
1.) Discoloration of teeth
Vaping can cause slight yellowing of teeth over long periods of time of consumption. This isn't a huge deal and I haven't seen it within myself, but this can be dealt with very easily with whitening products and taking brief breaks from vaping to counteract the buildup.
2.) Worse Skin Quality
Skin quality while on nicotine can slightly degrade. Again, I haven't seen this within myself, but this can also be countered by taking small breaks from nicotine consumption, as this only happens over long periods of time.
Conclusion
Nicotine consumption can lead to a leaner body and face due to suppressing appetite and boosting metabolism, less facial bloating due to being a diuretic, and can help consumers socially due to increasing baseline mood levels. It is not a huge change, but will definitely help looksmaxxing efforts. I do it, and it has helped me a lot.

Quick note, I have gotten some Chat-GPT accusations in previous posts due to the words I use and formatting. I do NOT use Chat-GPT, and just like to properly format my posts and use words that can better articulate my points. I like writing small essay-like posts because I find it both fun and also enjoy trying to help others in some way, and putting some more information out there.
