Is Weight Gain after Smoking Cessation Inevitable?

Talcott, Gerald W.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v63 n2 p313-16 Apr 1995

Studied weight gain after smoking cessation in a naturalistic setting where all smokers quit and risk factors for postcessation weight gain were modified. Results showed no significant weight changes for smokers who quit. Suggests that an intensive program featuring dietary guidelines and increased physical activity can attenuate weight gain. (RJM)
