"How much weight will I gain if I quit smoking?" is a question many women ask when they're contemplating their last cigarette, and according to French and British researchers, quitters who don't use any supplements or quitting aids gain an average of ten pounds in the first 12 months after they quit. That's not only higher than the standard answer given (most quitting lit cites a figure around six pounds) but it's also twice the amount that many female smokers say they'd be comfortable gaining. But researchers still emphasize that, even considering the health risks associated with weight gain, quitting is the better choice, and that the data doesn't necessarily mean you'll gain that much weight.
