I think you should consider E-cigarettes. Such do not produce the toxins from the burning of tobacco. Such toxins are the primary source of the cancer producing and arterial damaging effects associated with the smoking of tobacco. The nicotine will suppress appetite and encourage weight loss.

I too have plumped out after years of being cigarette free. Last summer I lost thirty pounds and would wake up in the middle of the night with hunger induced anxiety attacks that would keep me awake all night. The picture of the middle of the night raids on the refrigerator are understandable after what I went through. After all that torment, I slowly regained the weight. I am thinking of trying E-cigarettes myself after reading the findings on nicotine and appetite.

If someone asks if you smoke, you can say that what you do is not smoking, it is “vapeing” because with an E-cigarette, you are inhaling nicotine delivered by water vapor.

Vaping? To vape? Vapidity?

I went from being a long time smoker to a vapor last year. I think I am getting the same amount of nicotine per day that I got from real cigarettes. I have shed the cough, wheezing and criticizing from my family BUT I have gained about 8 pounds (not a bad thing in my case).

I'm not sure that it is the nicotine that keeps the weight off - it hasn't for me.

Marlboro Reds

It is vaping. Somehow the e got in there to spell vapeing.
