Smoking weight gain: Not every smoker that quits needs to expect to gain weight. Sedentary lifestyle choices, poor diet, and binge eating during withdrawal from nicotine accounts for the pounds for many. Early plans to eat right, exercise, and appropriately manage the nicotine addiction will be important to keeping weight from gaining.

See details: If you stop smoking you can save your life. It is difficult to believe you use an inhaler and nebulizer and still smoke. Btw, people often gain weight after they stop unless they minimize carbohydrate intake.

Taste buds: Wake up again when you stop smoking so gaining weight is a possibility. Please don't let that temporary possibility be an excuse to keep smoking. Smoking has many more dangerous side effects than stopping. You can do it. Use gum, mints, tea, etc. To replace the oral part of you fix.Peace and good health.
