Technically, they do.

At the very least, nicotine is a stimulant, which inherently speeds up the metabolism, which leads to weight loss.

I remember reading a statistic a decade or so ago (can't account for it's validity, but it sounds good) that the average pack-a-day smoker can attribute 10 pounds of weight loss a year to the habit.
