Smoking CAN affect your body wieght. It is more likely one will gain weight if they quit smoking than lose weight, at least in the long-term, if they start smoking. The main reason for this is that smoking increases your metabolism, which is what helps your body burn fat. If you quit smoking and don't replace that with something that increases your metabolism, i.e. aerobic exercise for at least 20 minutes a day, you won't burn fat as quickly as you did when you smoked. Another cause of weight gain for people who quit smoking is that besides creating a chemical addiction to Nicotine, smoking creates an oral addiction, i.e the need to have something in your mouth. Once you quit smoking, people often times replace the oral addiction of the cigarette with food, and thus, eat more.
