I HAVE BEEN A SMOKER FOR A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS, I KNOW THATS BAD.
BUT I NEVER HAVE BEEN A HEAVY SMOKER,JUST SOCIALLY. BUT KNOW I'M ON PHEN I CAN'T SMOKE ENOUGH TO SATISFY MYSELF. IT'S GROSS BUT I CRAVE THEM SO BAD! AND I TEND TO WANT TO DRINK BEER MORE. I DON'T KNOW MAYBE IT'S JUST ME AND NOT THE PHEN. BUT IT DID START WHEN I STARTED THE PHEN UGH!! I HOPE I GET PAST THIS

Bliss, it's not silly at all. Years ago when I was a smoker and took Phen, I smoked like a chimney. I just started PhenD at the beginning of August and even though I have been a non-smoker for three years now, I am craving those darn things like you wouldn't believe. I think it has something to do with that "speedy" feeling and your body being amped up. You think??

I've never had a cigarette in my life, so I'm not sure if this effect is the case for you guys, but I've often heard smokers say that cigarettes calm them. If the phen is making you nervous and jittery it would make sense that you'd want to turn to what normally calms when you're "edgy".

Not unusual at all...most smokers will tend to smoke more when on an appetite suppressant (speed)...lol
You are not eating as much so you'll smoke more...I've gone from a pack a day to a pack and a half..don't know which is worse for your health...smoking or fat...I'll take a chance on the smoking myself..

Oh yeah, that's normal... completely. And I'm going to try to quit tomorrow

It's not silly at all, I felt the same way. I've been on Phen a few times over the past ten years and every single time, I wanted to smoke, it was a definite craving. A few years ago I mentioned it to my Mom and she said she had the same craving when she was put on Phen 40 years ago after giving birth to me. I was only an occasional social smoker who truly only smoked less than a pack in an entire year. Phen made me smoke several a day, the craving was prety intense. This time around I was using the Phen/Pro combo and I did not crave cigarettes this time around at all.

You're not alone.....I felt out of control and so disappointed that I was smoking. I stopped taking Phen both times in the past because I did not want to have the craving to smoke. If you're seeing a Dr for your Phen, you may want to ask about taking a small dose of Prozac (10mg) is what I was on. Wellbutrin works well with Phen too, which will curb your craving.
