The 2 main reasons that people gain weight when they quit smoking are 1: due to the slight slowing down of the body's metabolism when there's no nicotine around, and 2. some people replace smoking with food.
There are a lot of other factors, such as exercise and emotions, but unfortunately the latest research to hit the headlines distorts the real truth, and that is much more pleasant. Remember so much research is done or funded by biased parties, so take everything with a grain of salt and look at the rational aspects of it.

My husband and I just quit about a month ago. I stopped counting the days. I am 33 and he is 35 and we just quit cold turkey. I don't believe in the nicotine patch or gum or what ever else is out there. Just another way to make money off of the smokers. You do have to want to quit. I did it because of the smell and money. You can do it. Just chew gum when you get a craving. Shame on your partner! They should support you not hinder you. You will not be able to quit with your partner smoking. Good Luck. I hope you have the will power. ;-)

I suggest that you try body cleansing. I tried it and really got lean quickly. I lost 15 pounds in 9 days and also 3 inches off my waist. I do body sculpting so getting leaner was my goal. My sister did this program too and she lost a lot of weight quickly. I did not know too much about cleansing but there are a lot of TV commercials about this stuff. This is a body cleanse and not just a colon cleanse, I wanted my body to get lean quickly and this did the trick!

Your body is probably full of impurites from those years of cigarettes. people who have quit smoking and go on this program lose weight even faster!

new medicine out to quit smoking through your physician. It is not well buterin. It is some other new medicine. It makes it so you do not want to smoke and just the smell of it makes you naseaous. Not sure if that is appealing, but depends how bad you want it I suppose. I quit recently by setting up a date at which I envisioned myself as a non-smoker and then that day I just quit. My actions then had to be that of one who did not smoke. Good luck in your endeavor. Support groups can also help. Just find some way to distract yourself in times when you most want to smoke. Do not leave yourself opportunity to smoke or eat. I wish you success.

Try Chantix. I am in my second month and have not smoked a cigarette yet. Also it has an appetite suppresant in it to keep you from gaining weight. If you do want to eat, eat something like carrots or celery instead of candy. Also work out if you feel like smoking, trying walking around the block a couple times and the feeling should pass.

The reason some people put on weight when giving up cigarettes is because they turn to food for a substitute. Just find something else to replace the cigarette. An activity or something or if you find yourself eating then choose good foods like fruits and vegetables.

Well you won't stop endless you and your partner decide to do it together. I mean C'mon just the smell of one makes you want to smoke one yourself right? So if you have your bf smoking or smelling like it around you how will you stop?
Another thing just make up in your mind that you are going to stop if you tried before than you really didn't make up your mind about it and PRAY!
