“…Smokers who are concerned about postcessation weight gain have poorer cessation outcomes (Jeffery, Hennrikus, Lando, Murray, & Liu, 2000;Meyers et al, 1997;Mizes et al, 1998) and gain more weight after quitting (Perkins et al, 2001) than do smokers without weight concerns. Despite consistent evidence that smokers, on average, weigh less than do nonsmokers (Williamson, et al, 1991), overweight and obese individuals smoke.…”

introduction: Substantial evidence suggests that concerns about postcessation weight gain interfere with cessation efforts. However, it is unclear to what extent weight pretreatment affects smoking-related weight concerns. Given that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among callers to tobacco quitlines mirrors that of the population at large, and that women and obese smokers may be more concerned about weight gain, we sought to compare weight gain concerns among normal weight, overweight, and obese callers to a quitline.

“…Concerns about post-cessation weight gain likely affect women to a greater extent than men (Levine, Perkins, & Marcus, 2001;Pomerleau, Zucker, & Stewart, 2001). These concerns have been associated with higher rates of attrition in some clinical trials (Borrelli, Spring, Niaura, Hitsman, & Papandonatos, 2001;Mizes, Sloan, & Segraves, 1998;Pirie et al, 1992) and treatment failure in other trials (Jeffery, Hennrikus, Lando, Murray, & Liu, 2000;Meyers et al, 1997). Although suggestions have been made that women may benefit from tobacco dependence treatments that address these topics (Fiore et al, 2000), relatively few studies have examined programs targeted to one gender.…”

This was the first randomized, controlled smoking cessation trial assessing the efficacy of an exercise intervention as an adjunct to nicotine gum therapy in comparison to both equal contact control and standard care control conditions. Sedentary female smokers aged 18-55 were provided with nicotine gum treatment along with brief behavioral counseling and were randomized into one of these three behavioral adjunct conditions. In the "intent-to-treat" sample (N=182), at end of treatment and at one-year follow up, there were clear, but non-significant, trends in univariate analyses in which the exercise and equal contact control conditions both had higher rates of abstinence than the standard care control. However, when adjusting for other predictors of relapse in a multiple logistic regression, both exercise and equal contact control showed an advantage over standard care control in avoiding early relapse (i.e., after 1 week). In a multivariate survival model adjusting for other predictors, the equal contact condition had a significantly lower likelihood of relapse compared to the standard care condition and there was a near significant trend in which exercise offered an advantage over standard care as well. While these findings suggest a slightly improved likelihood of abstinence with exercise compared with standard care, exercise did not differ from equal contact control in its efficacy. Potential explanations for these equivalent levels of efficacy and implications for the findings are discussed.

“…Young women are nearly four times as likely as men to report weight gain as a cause of relapse (Swan et al, 1993). Smokers concerned about cessation-induced weight gain express less intention to quit (Weekley, Klesges, & Relyea, 1992), report greater withdrawal severity upon quitting , are more likely to drop out of treatment (Mizes et al, 1998), and have poorer overall cessation outcomes (Jeffery, Hennrikus, Lando, Murray, & Liu, 2000;Meyers et al, 1997) relative to smokers not concerned about weight gain.…”

“…Smokers who are concerned about weight are less successful when they try to quit smoking (Clark et al, 2006;Mizes et al, 1998;Meyers, Klesges, & Winders, 1997) and are less likely to try to quit in the first place (French, Jeffery, Klesges, & Forster, 1995;. In a study by Pisinger & Jorgensen (2007), weight gain was cited by respondents as the reason for relapse by 52% of the women and 32% of the men in a previous quit attempt.…”
