| | Smoking appears to augment satiety from food, but does not change the metabolic |
| | rate. After quitting, intake increases by 400 calories per day on average. Dieting and |
| | rigid weight control efforts increase the risk for relapse, and are not recommended |
| | during the initial cessation phase. Nicotine replacement therapy may delay, but does |
| | not eliminate, this weight gain. |
