Quit smoking if you are looking to reduce the ‘hidden’ abdominal fat, known as visceral fat, suggests a study.

While smokers tend to have lower body weights than non-smokers, they tend to have visceral fat, which can be explained as the unhealthy fat deep inside the abdomen, and around organs such as the liver, heart, and kidneys. Even a thin person with a flat stomach can have unhealthy amounts of visceral fat.
