South Beach Diet caffeine limit is 1 cup per day. South Beach Diet Alcohol is also limited to maximum 2 servings per day.

South Beach Diet & Nicotine

Although nicotine is thought to slightly increase metabolism, the poisonous effect smoking has on metabolic enzymes is far more important.

Smokers will definitely not control their weight this way. Any benefit that might come with smoking is far outweighed by smoking's destructive effects.

Smokers often do gain weight when they quit, but this might also be a result of the fact that some have in fact a “hand-to-mouth” fixation that they are subsequently trying to satisfy by eating. If you are on South Beach Diet and trying to quit smoking, this will not affect negatively your weight as on diet you can eat as much as you want.
