How Not to Gain Weight

Many people keep smoking because they're afraid they will gain weight if they stop. Here's a news flash: It's not the quitting that makes people gain weight ― it's the extra snacking they do to replace the habit and ritual of smoking. To prevent this extra eating, have a plan in place for when you have cravings ― instead of eating to cope with them, do something productive. Call a friend take a walk, or listen to your favorite music. You CAN beat your smoking habit, and you SHOULD.
