FAQ

  • Q1

    Will I gain weight after quitting?

    Some people gain 2–4 kg after quitting. Nicotine suppresses appetite and boosts metabolism, so these effects reverse when you stop. Regular exercise and mindful eating can help manage this.

  • Q2

    Is a quit clinic more effective than quitting cold turkey?

    Yes — prescription aids like varenicline (Champix/Chantix) used with professional support increase success rates 2–3x compared to quitting alone. Consider a quit clinic if you've tried and failed before.

  • Q3

    Can I have just one cigarette?

    "Just one" is the most common cause of relapse. Even a single cigarette can reignite intense cravings due to nicotine dependence. When tempted, check this page to remind yourself of your savings and health progress.
