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.
A new study in the journal BMJ shows that quitters gain more weight than anyone previously thought. The research found that those who quit smoking gained an average of 10 to 11 pounds after 12 months, with most of the weight gain in the first three months.
