• I will gain weight if I quit, and that is more dangerous than quitting
True to say, some people have gained weight during the start to smoking cessation period. While this weight gain is minimal, it is not going to affect your health like constant nicotine use will. Keep this in reality; you are going to discover that you are not going to gain terrific amounts of weight, especially if you are aware that food will cause your weight gain, not your stop smoking pledge. As you emerge from smoking a pack a day, your lung performance will improve, and you will be able to manage more activity, and each day, you will feel better! You can add more exercise, healthy eating habits, and a new positive outlook on life to your ex-smoker lifestyle as you add more smoke free days to your count. If you stop smoking, there is no reason to think you will gain weight, this is a mental choice you will make as an ex-smoker. If you decide to not substitute food for cigs, then you are going to have no effect at all. This is your choice, and not a fact. It is your choice.
