DGQueen,
Why don't you start working out. Build that habit and start reducing the amount of ciggerettes you smoke. That way you won't gain as much. But I've read some articles that said that the fear of gaining weight is psychological, but I've read otherwise too.

Nope, don't smoke. Pollution is bad enough!

I suppose it is psychological. But I think a lot of people do gain weight because they substitute food when they have a cigarette craving.

Ames, Iowa is ranked the least smoggy metropolitan area by the American Lung Association. Yay- healthy lungs for me!

It is definitely a legitimate fear! I gained weight after I quit smoking 7 1/2 years ago

Ditto.
And don't let the Iowa kid lie - DBQ is NOT a metropolitian area. It's like a suburb with no city.
