The average person puts on around six to eight pounds when they quit smoking. Some people may put on more-even up to 30 pounds. Most people return to their normal (pre-quitting) weight after just one year. But, you would have to gain almost 100 pounds to put the same pressure on your heart that smoking causes.
About 16 percent of people actually lost weight after quitting, and 13 percent gained more than 22 pounds. Because of the great range, researchers said the average weight gain is not necessarily meaningful to people kicking the cigarette habit.
