This may not make help you out at all Rayne, but I litterally gained 45lbs when I quit 3 years ago. Quiting smoking wasn't the only factor, I stopped working out and I crushed my hand around the same time. (let's not forget having kids, yes, it can effect the dads waste line too) Slowly, it's coming back off now though, no workout, no diet.
