    I have been smoking off and on for the last couple years. The reason why smoking help keeps the weight off is because it is a stimulant and so you don't feel hungry and you eat less but there are other ways to feel that effect. Drinking coffee in the morning really helps me. Also exercising - when you quit and see how much easier it is to exercise it makes it a lot easier to stay off of cigs. For me even walking up stairs is easier. best of luck!

    i smoked a half a pack a day for 23 years, quit 55 days ago and have lost 8 pounds in that time.

    dont make excuses or use one bad thing as a crutch for another. if you want to quit then do it, if you dont want to then dont try since you need to be dedicated to it for it to work.

    I agree with everything Moxie 42 said.

    If you want online smoking cessation support (which I used and still visit occasionally), join this group....you won't be sorry. I am 18 months quit after 43 years of smoking. I credit my success to the free online support group who has been there and done that. And I am still at the same weight as before.

    CHECK it out and see for yourself...as I said, it is just people quitting smoking...some successful, some not!
