Unable to poop without smoking a cigarette? Let coffee help

Not just cigarettes, but coffee can also make some people poop as a team of researchers has suggested that in some cases, coffee can jumpstart their bowel movement within minutes of consuming it.

Coffee compounds besides caffeine might be responsible for sudden bowel movements. Some small studies have shown that drinking coffee was more effective than warm water at inducing bowel movements.
