2018, Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :The relationship between smoking status and body weight serves as a primary motivation for continued smoking (Gritz et al., 1989). Weight loss is often given as a rationale for starting to smoke, while weight gain is often cited as a deterrent for quitting (Bush et al., 2014; Pomerleau and Kurth, 1996). The average weight gain among smokers is estimated between 4 and 5 kg, with a significant proportion of the population gaining well above this average (> 15 kg in 13–33% of ex-smokers), making weight gain a major obstacle to smoking cessation (Aubin et al., 2012; Flegal et al., 1995; Williamson et al., 1991).
