JustinCaseUDontKnow · Accepted Answer

That is why i stopped smoking cause it caused me to be hungry
i had much more anxiety , i stopped cold turkey on Dec 14, 2012
it will be 3 years this December the best choice i ever made the price
of smokes in the US is so high it's not worth it to put out $6.00 for a
pack of smokes and now the cartons are like $58.00 for 20 packs.

I've never smoked, but without exception, all people among my friends and family who did: same story.
They say it's bacause instead of a cigarette, they took a piece of candy... and also that the way they tasted food was completely different after giving up smoking.

Yeah my mum and my aunt did. I think they replaced the habit with eating. I mean like they were used to smoking so to keep themselves busy and for something to do, they just ate. Now they are not morbidly obese but they did put on weight.

My mom did. But it was worth it for her. She quit cold turkey.

ROFL smoking is disgusting, don't ever smoke again. Don't worry about putting on weight, it's most likely the result of inflammation. Your bodies are healing. Smoking affects more than the lungs, it affects the entire body. Just give your bodies time to heal.

That's because you're probably substituting food for your cigarette addiction. Congrats on giving up smoking but maybe opt for gum or water next time the craving hits.

I didn't - I actually lost weight because I changed my overall lifestyle to live healthier and work out more often now

I don't think it has anything to do with giving up smoking, I think it is because the person has suddenly started to eat a lot more.

Mesonfielde · Answer

They usually put on weight not because they stopped smoking but because they started binge eating instead

rock_the_web · Answer

hmmm, giving up smoking is also in my plan... i prefer to be a fat healthy man instead of a fit but a sick man...

KidInk4 · Answer

And kissing someone who smokes is like kissing an ashtray, it's just nasty. So, good for you that you quit. But yeah, smoking causes weight loss, in a bad way

zombiebabe · Answer

its pretty common for people who stop smoking to eat a lot

Yes! But replaced my smoking addiction with caffeine which helps quite well.
