I’m planning to quit smoking by my birthday which is a couple of days away only. Is it true that i will gain weight? and what’s better, to gradually minimize the cigarettes i smoke daily or to just quit? Do the nicotine gums help? any other tips? (I smoke 10 cigarettes a day and i’ve been smoking for 2.5 years now)
I quit cold turkey over 20 years ago. I did gain some weight initially but with careful eating and exercise it came off easily. There is a temptation to smoke when you are stressed. What helped me is to just take a couple of deep breaths instead of giving into the temptation. Good luck – your lungs will thank you for it!!
