Interesting as far as the point on weight gain...

I just quit 10 days ago & my weight had been pretty steady prior to quitting, & just recently experienced a gain w/out change in diet at all. I've replaced my smoking habit with water instead of food.

I wonder if there is something to that article... I know that heart rate, and blood pressure often drops after quitting since nicotine is a stimulant. I wonder if that has effect on metabolism. I guess time will tell. Hopefully my weight will come down again soon! Still no regrets. I feel good about quitting & am not letting a couple lbs keep me from keeping on w/the decision to quit.
