Will I gain weight when I stop smoking?

Question:
Will I gain weight when I stop smoking?
Answer:

Not everyone who quits smoking will gain weight but some people do. This is because smoking can suppress your appetite and increases your metabolic rate so you burn calories faster.

If you quit smoking and replace it with unhealthy snacking then you're likely to put on a bit of weight. However, if you stop and keep to a healthy diet it's unlikely that you'll gain weight because you've stopped smoking.
