Smoking is known to affect appetite and weight in both animals and humans. We examined the relation between smoking deprivation and caloric intake in five women with bulimia nervosa in whom the weight regulation aspects of smoking may be particularly salient. Subjects participated in a within‐subjects study designed to examine the effects of smoking regular nicotine cigarettes, smoking lownicotine cigarettes, and smoking deprivation on caloric intake and mood. Total caloric intake, grams of fat consumed, and cigarette cravings were significantly greater under smoke‐deprived than smoking conditions.
