<p>Compared to smokers who continued smoking, a new study found that among smokers who quit smoking that women weighed an average of 2.6 kg more and men 5.1 kg
more. But the good news is that nearly all of that weight gain was temporary. Among ex-smokers who had quit at least five years, their weight and body mass
index was nearly the same as the... ]]></description>

  I just deleted a new string that was titled, &quot;How much weight have you gained.&quot; I took it out because the title itself is a fallacy, setting up the
  idea that quitting smoking is inevitably going to lead to weight gain. Believe it or not, there are some people who actually lose weight when they quit
  smoking. It is likely a small percent of people who quit but it does happen. Others stay the same. Of course there are people who do gain weight.

  Hi Joel,
</div>

<div>
  I pop in now and then, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a different post on weight. As you know, I am one of those past quitters that blamed my restarts
  on weight gain.  Not This Time!!   I truly believe patience is necessary when quitting. Everyone gains weight at first. Some more than others, but keeping it
  within limits is so important. Luckily, I have lost and gained the same 5 pounds over almost 6 months. I hope somebody  needing a research... ]]></description>

  You are so right about the amount of excercise it takes to work off a cookie.  I go to a gym and if I ride the bike for 1/2 hour at a pretty good clip I can
  burn off 140 calories which probably isn&#39;t even a chocolate chip cookie.

  I think when I smoked I used that as a reward for cleaning, laundry, you name it. So when I quit, for a while, I exchanged smoking for a snack.  And the
  result of that was 10 extra pounds.
