Weight gain prevention and smoking cessation: cautionary findings.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES. Weight gain is a consistent sequela of smoking cessation. A successful intervention might attract smokers who fear weight gain. If the gain causes smoking relapse, such an intervention might reduce smoking relapse risk. METHODS. Using a sample of 158 smokers who completed a 2-week smoking treatment program, we compared an innovative weight gain prevention intervention with both a nonspecific treatment and standard treatment. Subjects were assessed on weight and smoking behavior and followed for 1 y… Show more

“…Finally, the hand-to-mouth topographic similarity between the acts of eating and smoking may have enabled snacking to behaviorally substitute for smoking (Bickel and Vuchinich, 2000). The opportunity to behaviorally substitute self-administration of appealing snacks for self-administration of cigarettes may alleviate feelings of deprivation that could otherwise foster a relapse-tempting rise in the reward value of smoking (Hall et al, 1992).…”

“…Although weight gain is a common side effect and potential deterrent to quitting smoking, efforts to integrate dietary restraint components within tobacco treatment interventions have raised concerns about potential deleterious effects on quitting smoking (S. M. Hall, et al, 1992). Clinical tobacco treatment guidelines even discourage weight control efforts through dieting so as not to detract from motivations to quit smoking (Fiore & Staff, 2000).…”

“…For example, the level of dietary restriction has been positively correlated with the use of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana in young women (Krahn et al, 1992). Furthermore, the risk for relapse in abstinent smokers is higher in subjects that are concurrently calorie restricted (Hall et al, 1992). Prolonged food restriction seems to be a critical factor, since shorter food restriction period (24-72 h) did not change cigarette smoking (Cheskin et al, 2005) or responses to intravenous fentanyl administration (Zacny et al, 1992).…”
