does smoking make you lose weight

So i am notoriously BAD at not only faces, but names... And then people add me on livejournal and iapos;m like... "ok... Who is this again?" but then i feel like the worst person ever for asking who they are again... (i need to know who you are in context i had a whole conversation with the Oerthan Princess... Who iapos;d hung out with for two hours earlier... And forgot who the hell she was without her crown I KNOW Iapos;m horrible)

anyway. I vote people on LiveJournal have REAL pictures of themselves up. Lol.
does smoking make you lose weight, does smoking kill you, does smoking kill brain cells, does smoking kill.
