I recently(2 weeks ago) quit smoking sort of by accident, we were on vacation and my 11 year old son spilled? -
water on them accidently and I decided at that point i-m done, can do without. i was never a heavy smoker-4 or 5 a day for 15 years. but my question is i am always hungry now, any tips for ex-smokers on how to combat this? Don-t get my wrong I am more than willing to gain weight to have a longer healthier life just would like some tips. thanks
Some ppl start putting toothpicks in there mouth and them some start eating peanuts then they gain weight...
yes its common for newly quit people.. to put on a few -newly quit pounds-.. there are subtle changes to your metabolism, as now food simply tastes better.. in time the weigh goes away.. unless one is morbidly obese the risk of a few pounds is much less than continues smoking..
congrats on the quit however it was achieved..these is simply no wrong way to quit..

I-ve never understood this...
Does being hungry mean you HAVE to eat? No.
I want a cigarette right now and I-m NOT going to go smoke one.
I want to open those Doritos but I-m not going to do that either.
