Answer 2

I stopped smoking for the third time in August 1998. and was around thirteen stone then. At that time I was 36 waist,my woman came back from Singapore in the October and the trousers she brought me were to small. (Anyone want a pair of grey flannels size 36") I am now size 40 and have a job to bend over, and eat less than half what I did, no fast foods and definitely no McDonald's. I am now fifteen stone, lost 3/4 st in the heat of the summer when I stripped and re-roofed our house but it's back again, but my cough has gone.

Answer 3

Smoking speeds up your metabolism very slightly, so when you stop it will slow down, therefore making you gain weight a bit more easily. It will level itself out after a while, and carrying a few extra pounds is far more healthy than all the poison you were putting into your body while you were smoking. Congratulations on giving up, it's not easy!

Answer 4

It is completely normal so don't worry.Well done for stopping smoking and keep up the good work!

Answer 5

right from what i have been told by a stop smoking adviser is that smoking speeds up your metabolism so when you stop smoking and your metabolism slows down you put on weight which is apparently you natural weight.
