Quitting cigarettes can be tough to endure; nicotine is so addictive. That’s why we’re thrilled to hear Jennifer Aniston is putting herself on the nonsmoker list. People reports that in a recent press conference Jen said : “And rumor Number two: no, we’re not pregnant. It’s just I quit smoking, so I’ve gained a couple of pounds.” It’s common when quitting smoking to put on a little weight since you tend to reach for other things to keep your mouth busy. Cigarettes can also suppress your appetite, and when you give them up, your hunger may increase. If you’re a smoker and are worried giving up the habit will cause you to pack on the pounds, here are some tips to help you quit without gaining weight.

Avoid your triggers: Whether it’s hitting a nightclub with friends, your morning cup of joe, or driving with the window down – know your triggers and steer clear of locations, food, or people that cause cigarette cravings. Exercise: Studies show that people have an easier time quitting when exercise is part of their cessation plan, because exercise can reduce nicotine cravings. Plus working out burns calories helping prevent weight gain. Keep reading for more tips to help you quit cigarettes without gaining weight.
