Re: Smoking

My husband and I both gave up smoking over 25 years ago ..... I managed it by eating Extra Strong Mints and he took the chewing gum route.

Re: Smoking

My friend's husband stopped his heavy smoking AND decided to go on a diet at the same time. It worked for him. Dennis, we are not worthy

Chewing Gum is disgusting, especially when it is no longer Minty, my dog often comes in from the garden, chewing something that is not visibly instantly apparent, to hear her munching away is very annoying.

Re: Smoking

I too stopped smoking and gained weight. It's because nicotine speeds up your metabolism.
By watching what I eat - cutting down on biscuits etc - I've only gained half a stone. Tried to lose it but it won't go so I've stopped bothering...

I feel much fitter than in my smoking days.
