Does smoking cessation lead to weight gain? The experience of asbestos-exposed shipyard workers.

T J Coates and V C Li

We examined the relationship between smoking cessation and weight change in a sample of 373 asbestos-exposed workers who had participated in a smoking cessation program. Those who quit smoking for one year and those who quit for shorter periods gained significantly more weight than those who continued to smoke. Those with initially poorer health and those who quit to avoid illness gained less weight.
