A common concern when one is trying to stop smoking cigarettes is weight gain. Most people are aware that cigarettes are an appetite suppressant. There is also some research indicating that they speed up the metabolic process a bit, so perhaps these fears have a bit of a foundation.
However, when you consider how much more active you’ll be after quitting, you’ll probably naturally be able to burn the extra calories. Also, with the extra money you’ll have when not purchasing expensive cigarettes, you can indulge in a healthy diet to help you keep from consuming the extra calories in fast food and other inexpensive fatty selections.

You won’t gain weight if you don’t want to. Once you stop smoking, you’ll have a craving to eat all the time, maybe to fill the hole that smoking did. But it’s up to you, if you make an effort to control yourself and eat healthy, you won’t gain weight. Put your mind on other stuff, excercise a lot, and distract yourself with different activities. Hope it helped!

Frequently. It really depends on how much discipline you have. I’d worry about the smoking first, then deal with the weight — it’s a lot easier to lose weight.
