As I've read, there are like five main factors in weight gain after quitting smoking.

- Nicotine, being a stimulant, makes the body burn more calories.

- Increased taste sensation, leads to food bein' flat out yummy.

- Smoking makes digestion less efficient, meaning that less of the food is absorbed in the gut.

- Smoking has a satiating effect, making one less hungry.

- Ex smokers tend to eat more to make up for the oral gratification they miss.

It'd be interesting to see a study comparing weight gain for different quit smoking techniques.

Gaining some extra weight is probably my ONLY complaint about vaping. Everything just tastes soooo much better.

The first week, I didn't eat any differently, but this week? I get hungry earlier and when it hits, it hits hard. Food. NOW. When I went shopping earlier in the week, I noticed I brought home more munchie type foods than usual, too. I'm not real thrilled with this. I don't want to put back on that .... I'd lost a couple years past.

I'm still not going back to analogs. Icky. Nasty.

vaping certainly doesn't have the same effect on my appetite that smoking did. Actually, I have to be really careful to make sure I eat when I should or vaping makes me kind of sick. I used to be able to skip eating just by having a smoke. Not anymore...

I haven't smoked in three weeks and my appetite for sweets has gone down since I started vaping. Maybe it's the flavors I vape, but I've been craving more "real" food than snack foods in the last 2 weeks.

I've also noticed a HUGE increase in energy lately. I've actually started working out in the morning again.

I find myself eating a lot less. Seems I'd rather sit around and chain vape then eat.

Have you heard about cinnamon and weight loss? Here's a quote from an article:

"In addition to helping prevent and improve insulin resistance, cinnamon may aid in weight loss. The reason is the fat cells that exist within the abdomen are quite sensitive to high levels of insulin and are excellent at energy storage. Due to the fact that the fat cells in the abdomen are close to digestive organs, and there is a widespread network of circulating blood vessels in the area, abdominal fat cells have an easier time storing excess glucose. Therefore, by reducing sugar levels, less glucose will be consumed and stored by these cells."

Here's a link to the full article if you want to read it:

Luckily I hve not yet experienced any of the side effects so many have posted about. I certainly hope that gaining weight is NOT one of them lol

acne I can cover with makeup (YAY for girls) but not too much I do about weight gain.

If you're using VG the body reactions pretty much the same as if you ate something sugary---makes you feel hungry---or at least it does to me.
I use VG and found this so true. The good news, it seems to be decreasing. I do keep raisins, nuts, and cabbage around if it gets so bad I have to take the edge off.
