For me it was a disaster. I quit a 3 packs a day habit cold turkey and gained 100 lb in 2 years. Another 4 years and I had my stomach stapled. Lost 140 lbs, gained 150 lbs, lost 90 lbs and on my way back to old top of about 370. 60 lbs and rising. All the foregoing started in 1981 when I quit smoking. Surgery was in 1987, currently weigh about 345. Total weight change from then to now; up 310 lbs, down 230 lbs over 23 years. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh Should have had my mouth stapled instead of stomach. :-(
