Another member asked recently about smoking and effect on LC. Basically, while your weight loss will not be adversely affected by smoking, there will be metabolic problems due to nicotine, which will have long term effects on maintaining when you begin to eat higher carbs. Namely, smoking increases insulin resistance, and depletes the body's magnesium stores, among the other known health problems.
You might want to check out this thread in our Kick Nicotine Club forum, for some members' experiences with smoking vs. quitting with LC.
