Here is a summary of article I thought you might be interested in. Smoking cessation responsible for 1/6 of increase in overweight among men, 1/4 among women Smoking cessation is responsible for an estimated one-fourth of the increase in the prevalence of overweight among women, and one-sixth of the increase in men according to a 1995 study. The average weight gain after 10 years following smoking cessation was 9.7 pound for men, and 11 pounds for women. Smokers who had quit smoking in the previous 10 years were twice as likely to become overweight as those who had never smoked—2.4 times as likely for men who had stopped smoking, and 2 times as likely for women who had stopped smoking.
