Weight gain.

[martym9]

When i quit smoking a few years ago (i lasted 9 months) i put on at least a stone and a half in weight due to eating crap, to satisfy cravings. Has any of our long term vapers had this problem, or does the vaping itself negate this effect ?

[Skwoddy]

Ive stayed exactly the same weight from day one, four months now. Funnily I always normally put on a few pounds in the winter months (comfort food etc) but as yet rock steady.

Edit to add: when I quit cold turkey for 2 years, I gained 2 stones

Have to say I've put back on a fair bit of the weight I lost in the months leading up to me quitting smoking and taking up vaping. I think part of that is down to me enjoying vaping after flavourful foods, but a large part of it is actually down to the new office I work in always having cakes and biscuits!

I haven't put on any weight Marty, if anything I may have lost a bit ( according to the Mother ) as instead of filling my face with sweet stuff, I now vape it instead.

When I stop smoking I always put on weight > But with vaping I've lost 4 lbs think I'm not going and drinking so much coffee and having cakes I have a very sweet tooth

I have been the same as you Perp. Even though its only been 6 weeks since i stopped analogs, normally i would be bingeing my heart out on crap and gaining weight, but not this time. I feel that the taste of a certain persons flavour i don't think I should mention is sweet enough to stop me wanting to eat naughty stuff. In fact, it is a sort of replacement without calories!! Seems I have struck on something to kill 2 vices in one
I am hunting around for other flavours too, but i think i am more of a sweet tooth person so dessert flavours are my thing.

must say this is the 1st time i have quit and not put any pounds on either ..strange the vape of all things nice doesnt make you wanna go stuff your face with all things fatty

[lobeydosser]

Packet of Mayfair Super Kings - £6.78.
40 a day habit - £13.56.
Vaping costs per day 40.
Saving per day - £13.16.
Packet of 3 Yum Yums - £1.00.
I can now vape to my hearts content and buy 13 packets of Yum Yums per day.
So have gained ###st.

But they do say vaping is healthier, so I must be doing okay.

[giles]

I've lost a little weight.

[ChillerVapes]

I've also lost a bit of weight

Your still getting the nicotine which suppresses hunger and unlike other nrt you keep your hands and mouth busy. Also if you crave something sweet, vape some sweet juice!!!

The main reason i always failed and went back to the ciggies was because of the weight i would gain.

But with vaping i dont have that problem at all, in fact i've gone down two sizes, meant having to get a whole new wardrobe of clothes
