For starters, this is the best site to help smokers stop smoking. OK, moving on. When I quit, I gain alot of weight. When I say alot, I mean 60lbs. I went to my doctor and he said in rare cases this happens. What was happening in me was the nicotine was killing most the nutrients from the food I was eating. My white blood count was low also. He said it was indicitive of the condition. The nicotine was killing everything that came in including viruses. Hardly got sick also. When I quit, I got sick from everything until my autoimmune system boosted itself up to the normal levels. I ate less but gained more weight. It has taken some time but the weight is finally leaving, thank god! I don't know if this post helps anyone, but there will be others on this site that will go through the same thing. Just hold your head high and count the hours you are adding to your life.
