How to stop smoking without gaining weight

How can you reduce weight gain?

Anti-smoking aids can help reduce the effects of giving up on your waistline, and in any case you stand more chance of success stopping with them than going cold turkey. If your body isn't completely starved of nicotine at first, you'll find it easier to give up and you won't start to crave food instead. You'll then reduce your nictotine consumption little by little. There are loads of different products available: gums, patches, pills and sticks. Ask your doctor for advice.
