You quit smoking - why would you want to substitute your bad habit with eating in excess? AGAIN, I have stopped, I didn't chew gum, I didn't start eating chocolate, cakes, crisps etc, I just continued as 'usual' and have NOT gained any weight. The opposite, I am fitter, more conscious about what I put into my body and so should YOU be. As I said earlier, it ALL takes dicipline.

OK, you may go and spend it elsewhere, but that's a separate issue. :p Joe. Nice headline… but quitting smoking simply HAS to save you a bundle of cash.

Let me ask you this....what is your time worth? I get paid only around ten bucks an hour, but I think that will go up soon and I'd like to think my time is more valuable than that. Now consider the fact that a pack-a-day smoker spends an ENTIRE MONTH out of each year puffing away. Literally, a full month out of each year. Now I know you can also do some other things while you are smoking but sheesh....that is just ridiculous. Think of all the lost productivity....

However, I did develop a weight problem as I entered my 30s, and now, at almost 50, I am obese and continuing to gain. I recently started using Nicorette gum as an appetite supressant, (in combination with Alli), and a low fat diet, and I find it very helpful even though I have no real exercise program. I think we need to think of nicotine as a drug with positive and negative aspects. Well, I have never smoked, unless you count a few puffs on a cig when I was 14.
