Does either of the nicotine patch, gum, or lozenges cause weight loss?

e-cigarettes and weight loss?

My brother is a heavy smoker. He tried to quit once before using the patch, but he had some side effects from it, and eventually went back to smoking.

He and his wife had a baby, and he decided it was time to quit, and he bought the e-cigarette. he started at a higher dose of nicotine, and he’s weaned himself down to a lower dose… soon he wants to wean himself down to a zero-nicotine e-cigarette, (they say to stay with it for a while to not gain weight, because many people who quit smoking need something to do with their hands, and turn to eating.)

he’s done pretty good with it thus far and it got me to thinking…

I have problems with my weight right now after an accident. I had to have surgery on both of my legs and ended up gaining weight from bed rest. I seem to fall into the habit of eating now when I’m bored, in pain, watching tv or have nothing better to do.

I don’t smoke… but there is a green tea with vitamin nicotine free e-cig filter… could puffing on one of those when I get bored, help curb my boredom eating? Or are E-cigs not good for that?
sorry for double posting the question.. my computer bogged down and I hit submit again thinking it hadn’t gone through the first time.
did acai berry. the whole “miracle drug” is a pile of horse poop. it has the same benefits of any berry, no more, no less.

Even with doctor approved exercises and diet, it didn’t do much.
