Nicotine also causes Insulin Resistance instantly... Nicotine causes a spike in glucose in the blood stream, (because it metabolizes fat- that stored up glucose) Insulin is activated to get the glucose in the blood stream to normal levels. - BUT nicotine inhibits the release of insulin to combat the high blood sugar levels
This is why people get diseases from smoking, has nothing to do with tobacco. It is about the delicate balance of Insulin and Glucose.
This balance of Glucose and Insulin is the key to health.
When this balance is overworked and burdened all the diseases will manifest:
Obesity, Inflammation, cancer, Alzheimers, Diabetes, Glaucoma etc...
So I do not understand why you want to lie to people about the importance of curbing the eating of carbohydrates/glucose. Do you want people to be sick?
First, don't pull your reddit tier bull shit of asking a stupid question at the end of your post. The only sic person here is you in the head. Second, this is half truth and manipulated information. The reason nicotine is an problem is because of its interaction with your nicotinic receptors. Smoking tobacco, has everything to do with smoking tobacco. Insulin is activated in response to an increase in blood sugar concentration, in the form of XX mg/dL. If your sugar is low then the alpha cells of the pancreas are activated to release glucogon to release stored glycogen. Your body does a very good job maintaining your homeostatic balance. If you eat nothing but meat, you'll still have glucose and insulin production.
And as far as fat is concerned, it's only a matter of calories if you care about losing weight. Eat less energy than the body needs in a day, it'll pull from energy stores and you'll lose weight. You can do that eating nothing but hot pockets and mountain dew. Again, talking about just the loss of stored fat.

Nicotine causes Glucose spike, inhibits the insulin... Therefore smokers are in a state of insulin resistance with the first Puff... I know, this is difficult to understand.. I mean a 15 year old figured this one out.. But the doctors would have you believe something far different...
That's exactly what I said about the problem with the receptors, but again when you read you see only what you want and then split it into almost truth. Insulin resistance in and of itself is not a problem. It causes an increase in blood sugar due to a lack of ability for insulin to do its job. If free floating blood sugar is already greater than 120 to 150 mg/dL then symptoms may set in and it can even go as high as 200 mg/dL in some. As well the half life at the nicotinic neuroreceptor binding site isn't long enough to cause an overall long term change in blood sugar, which would result in something like DKA or diabetic coma or shock.
Smoking is bad for a LOT of reasons but the specific one you're talking about isn't one of them. Your body spends it's days in sugar waves. Anyone who isn't diabetic, and eats a piece of cake, will see a resulting blood sugar spike as well as a corresponding insulin spike to balance it among other processes. If you don't eat for 24 hours you'll also see a drop in blood sugar with the result then being a release of glucacon as well as insulin.
As well your pics say what? Excess glucose right, which I've already addressed. What creates glucose? Literally anything you eat. If you eat too much, you gain weight, if you eat less, you lose weight. Carbohydrates are only one part of the triangle and not the cause of you being fat.
