Smoking and training
I have been smoking for a while now, i started when i was 15 and i want to quit. but how will it affect my workouts?
my old room mate quit and gained almost 35 lbs of fat in 2 months. i dont want that.
I have gone from a pack a day, to about 6 a day. not too long before i go cold turkey.
any input/suggestions would be appreciated.
Zac

Your old roommate started eating a lot more when he gained 35lbs. 35lbs in two months...wow. Simple solution: Don't eat everything in sight.
It should be beneficial to your workouts. Especially the strenuous ones. It will improve cardio performance. Good luck. The only thing stopping you is yourself. So get out of your way.

Here's my take...
Part of the enjoyment smokers get from smoking, (OK, this is going to sound gay... but stay with me), is the pleasure they get from having something in their mouth. It's called an oral fixation.
When they quit smoking, they still have this desire to put something in their mouth... so they eat more food to replace putting a cigarette in their mouth.
If you can replace the oral stimulation of a cigarette, with something like gum, a toothpick, hard candy, chewing on a pen... who cares... just replace it with something that isn't a lung-dart or something that will make you fat.
Anyway... that's my 2cents...
