Many smokers are worried about putting on weight when they stop smoking.

Besides, the positive benefits of being a non-smoker far outweigh the possibility of putting on a few pounds.
If you don’t succeed in stopping at first, don’t give up. If you give in to temptation and have a cigarette don’t regard this as a complete failure. Think about what made you give in, learn from experience and get back on track.
