I believe smoking lowers your craving for food, so yes, in a sense you'd lose weight.
As for gaining weight, it depends if your eating habbits changed.

People are known to gain weight from quitting... I've heard a lot of different reasons for it (changes in metabolism, etc), but IMHO its mostly because you look for other things to do to "fill in" your previous habit, and eating is a big one.
Just watch what you eat for awhile. Exercise helps a lot.

It will stabilize your weight. (starting)
Quiting will cause gain if you replace cigs with donuts.

Quitting smoking will allow you to increase aerobic exercise intensity. In the long run this could help you build muscle weight and lose fat. In the short run you are likely to experience a small drop in metabolic rate for a short period. Most weight gain from quitting probably comes from eating during cravings.
Hang in there. Eat and workout normally. You're parting with a very close friend... Some fluctuation in weight is normal. I am a 10 year, 1.5 - 2 packs a day ex-smoker who is apporaching his 2 year non-smoking anniversary.
When I quit, I did gain ~10-15 pounds. For me, right off the bat, my sense of smell and taste sharpened so that eating became more pleasaurable, hence I would eat more. The novely soon wears off. Also, my cravings or oral fixations were satisfied with food... Eventually, the cravings cease as does the need to satisfy them.
LOL!
I don't know. I just remember that my high school teacher smoked a lot, yet she was slender. The same is true for others. I also heard something about smoking and thinness. The original explanation I heard was that smoking reduced your craving for food.
However, I see fat people who also smoke a whole lot. My neighbor is a good example. She, in fact, used to be slender before it appears her smoking habit got worse. She's quite fat now and all she does is smoke ... but I guess she hasn't stopped eating or drinking!

Last time I quit (march) I gained 10 lb., although the previous times I've quit I haven't noticed as much of a gain.
I quit again, once and for all 11 days ago, and I'm trying to keep an eye on my diet to make sure this doesn't happen again.
In your case, some of it may be attributable to water gain, since smokers will tend to substitute a cigarette for water when they are thirsty.
Careful how much soda you drink, and other than that, just keep an eye on the weight. Too soon to be worried. 🙂

yes nicotine is well known for suppressing hunger.
In certain circles, there are non-smokers who've taken to chewing nicotine gum as a weight loss aid. I don't know if that's a great idea, although it beats cigs by a mile.
