Many people experience weight gain after quitting smoking, I’m not really sure why. I get that nicotine is an appetite suppressant so people may tend to over eat after quitting but does the weight gain have any other metabolic causes? Will a smoker gain weight if they quit and still maintain the same calorie intake as before?

If you’re an average dude and the only change in your life is that you quit smoking and replace it with eating 2 pop tarts a day, you’ll gain about 35 pounds in a year.
Seems a small change, but over time it adds up.
