When you quit smoking can you gain weight? -
Depends how you go about quitting, if you use willpower or nicotine replacement therapy then weight gain is common because you-re suddenly faced with an empty feeling as a result of cravings. Where as you-d normally deal with these feelings by smoking if you-ve quit you may try to rid these feelings as if they were hunger pangs, you may also turn to food to give you something to do, or you may use sugary snacks or lollipops to deal with cravings. Without understanding the nature of the addiction and how to deal with these feelings then weight gain is inevitable for many people. Weight gain however is the least of your concerns given as willpower and NRT methods have a very high rate of failure, and generally are difficult as they focus purely on the chemical addiction - nicotine is highly addictive, but cravings/withdrawal are minor, it-s the mental addiction that is the problem and that which will make you misserable when quitting unless you deal with it.

It-s got a 90% success rate and much easier than using willpower methods or NRT -

- if I could I-d pay for you and every other smoker in the world to try Easyway as it really does work and makes quitting so easy.
Yes as your taste buds will slowly come back to you. And you will crave to have something in your mouth during the times you would usually be smoking. Many people who quit smoking gain weight and start to have weight issues. Not that this should stop you from smoking, just watch what you eat. And try not to eat more then what you did when you smoked.
I quit smoking in November 2008, and I have gained almost 15 pounds
