to not give up cigarettes, the problems
that stem from the oral fixation/transferral
play major roles in weight gain when

Medicine confirmed that smokers'
concerns about weight gain often outweigh
their desire to quit. Even with the weight
gain, they said that quitters substantially
lowered their risk of heart attack & stroke.
