Maybe, but youll die sooner if you dont stop. I know ppl who have quit smoking and they are still thin. You can lose weight, if you begin to gain. So dont let being worried about getting fat be your only priority. Stop smoking for you, life, and family. I hope you do. Take care and good luck.

Eat, eat, eat.  Don't exercise.  You'll get fat and your booty will definitely get bigger.

Start running or training in any other way suitable for you. And you will quit smoking painlessly in 2 or 3 months.\nThere is a kind of side effect: you will become more healthy :-)

I was able to quit and didn't gain much weight. About five pounds and after three months I lost it.\n\nThe biggest weight gain I got from stopping smoking was the extra weight in my wallet because I am not giving up all my cash for cigarettes.\n\nThis sounds stupid but the thing I read that helped me the most was - "The urge for a cigarette only lasts a few seconds". I kept thinking about that and every time I wanted a cigarette and I would start thinking - a few seconds, a few seconds, a few seconds over & over. I would get distracted & forget to keep thinking it but I also forgot about the cigarette. The problem is when you first start quitting the urge comes often but gradually it dissapeared. I no longer miss them.

Start NOW to avoid more weight gain, so that you won't have even more to lose!  I knew I was eating more, it all adds up, but I thought, "Well I can get it off in a few months."  I put on 30 pounds, and it wasn't easy losing it, nor just a few months.  The time and effort wasn't worth what and how I ate. Eat sensibly, exercise - walking is great, especially outdoors for fresh air.  Get into some activities that will take up some time and make it easier not to think about food, or smoking either.  You didn't ask, but I'd like to advise you never to go back to smoking, it's typically harder to quit again.  Good luck!

Quitting smoking does slow your metabolism.  It's also a mental thing.  You keep yourself occupied by eating so you won't obey the crave to smoke.  Think about this heath benefits though... Charred lungs, or a larger waistline.  You choose.  \n\nI gained 35 lbs. when I quit, after 11 years of smoking.  But I began to walk and excercise and I lost it all.  \n\nGo for it.  Walk over to that garbage can and throw those things out!  You did it before and you can do it again!  The longer you wait, the slower your metabolism is.  (the older you get)\n\nDiet and excercise is the best way to boost the metabolism.

Wow, someone wants you to quit smoking!  I haven't heard that, but a friend of mine was told to stop smoking when she was having gum surgery.  Smoking narrows the blood vessels and it also does something with the absorbtion of Vitamin C, a healing building block in your body.  They want you to quit smoking because it impacts on your healing time and healing quality of life.  Do yourself a favor and stop so you heal better and faster.

That would be Excercise, it can do both. Smoking won't help you loose weight, and it won't affect your period. It will ruin your lungs, put you at risk of cancer, stain your teeth, give you wrinkles, age your skin, put an unborn child at risk, make your clothes, car and  house smell bad,and many other unpleasant and dangerous things. Stop the cigs and do more excercise, your life will be much better.

"Within 12 hours after you have your last cigarette, your body will begin to heal itself. The levels of carbon monoxide and nicotine in your system will decline rapidly, and your heart and lungs will begin to repair the damage caused by cigarette smoke.\n\nWithin a few days you will probably begin to notice some remarkable changes in your body. Your sense of smell and taste may improve. You will breathe easier, and your smoker's hack will begin to disappear, although you may notice that you will continue to cough for a while. And you will be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense, and dependence of cigarette smoking."\n\nLots more info on improvement (listed as 20 minutes following quitting to 15 years after quitting) in health at site below.  Hope that helps!

Here are some facts from personal experience as well as other family/firends who have given up or tried to give up:\n\n1. your metabolism slows down, you can even feel your pulse slowing down when you give up. Temporarily, smoking a cig can accelerate your heart just a tiny-tiny bit.\n2. Food smells and tastes just the same, you just have a craving because you  are not smoking, so you want to substitute that craving with eating. Chewing gum doesn't work.\n3. You can retain more water when not smoking so you may appear 'fuller' too.\n4. Some friends of mine (including my mum) have put on upto 3 stones when giving up smoking (not by eating so much, it's just how their bodies reacted).\n5. Most supermodels smoke (as well as other drugs) to stay thinner. In the modeling world putting on even half a stone could wreck their career.\n6. Some people can actually manage to get back to their pre-quitting weight but not many.\n7. I managed to lose all the weight I put on after quitting but once I reached my pre-quitting weight I had to re-start smoking because the lowered intake of food was driving me nuts and the only way I could keep it down is by lighting up again. \nSometimes I stop for a year, sometimes for 10 months, sometimes for 4 years sometimes just 6 months but I always end up smoking again. Horrible!

Your hands and feet warm up\n*8 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood ddrops to normal.\n*24 hours after quitting: your chance of a heart attack decreases\n*2weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lungs perform better.\n*1-9 months after quitting: Coughing, sinus congestion, tiredness and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny haris that move the moucus of the the lungs) returen to normal, increasing the ability to hanlde  mucous, clean the lungs and reduce infectioin.\n*1 year after quitting: the increased risk of heart disease is half that of a smokers.\n*5-15 years after quitting: your sstroke ris is reduced to that of a nonsmoker.\n*10 year after quitting: The Lung cancer dath rate is 50 percent lower than it is for continuing smokers.

I suggest you to avoid fatty foods and lessen carbohydrates.  Eat fruits, vegetables and drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday.  You should stop smoking since it doesn't only make your body weak but rather, your stomach and body store in lots of fats making your metabolism slow.  Quit smoking and do exercise everyday.  Going to army in a few months from now...  know the requirements, especially on weight.  Since you are 6'2'' tall, your normal weight should be 90 kilos.  If you are really desperate, then try the 3 day diet below which (they say) guarantees you to lose 3-10 pounds each session.  It is one of the natural way to lose weight aside from regualr exercise.  But before that, consult a doctor since I've heard some that is not fat that is losing but rather water in your body... while other people, it is only the shorter and faster wieght to lose weight.  This requires strict and discipline to yourself and food intake.  Follow the procedures given and no substituton of food, adding salt or pepper is fine but none other than that.  No snacking too!  \n\nThis is what they called the fad diet.\n\n3 Day Diet Plan is used for 3 days at a time. This diet normally used by doctors and military. These diet uses all natural products, no pills or nasty shaky. If you follow the diet correctly you can lose up to 10 lbs. in 3 days and 40 pounds in a month. The 3 day diet focuses on mixing certain types of foods that create a reaction in your digestive system. The chemicals are supposed to boost your metabolism and help you burn fat at a higher rate than usual. After 3 days of dieting, resume eating normally for three to four days, do not overeat. You can start your 3 day diet back anytime if you like.\n\nIt is a calorie diet, your weight will be reduced fast as long as you eat the same amount of calories in any type of food. if you feel bored with the food, do replace them with the food with the same calorie value anytime you like. This is to ensure that 3 Days Diet will forever be interesting to us. \n\nThe Diet does not provide medical information and if you are at any medical risk in undertaking a diet such as this, please check with your doctor before undertaking it.\n\nInstructions:\nDrink 4 glasses of water or diet soda per day. For additional flavoring you can add herbs, soy sauce, lemon, salt and pepper, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and ketchup to your foods. \n \n\n3 Day Diet Menu Plan\nFirst Day of "3 Day Diet"\n \nBreakfast\n\nBlack coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water\n1 banana\n1 slice toast with 1 Tbsp.

It's when you quit smoking you gain weight (cigarettes).\n\nSmoking herb doesn't make you gain weight either, though you do eat a lot.
