“…(8, 37, 38) Other studies have also shown that continuing smokers may develop medical conditions interfering with physical activity at higher rate than quitters,(39) and that changes in health behavior can occur after contracting a medical condition. (40, 41) However, no previous study tested the sensitivity of the overall effect of smoking cessation on physical activity to the inclusion of these TDCM in the multivariate models.…”

Aims To estimate physical activity trajectories for persons who quit smoking, and compare them to what would have been expected, had smoking continued. Design, Setting and Participants 5115 participants to the CARDIA Study, a population-based study of African American and European American people recruited at age 18-30 years in 1985/6 and followed over 25 years. Measurements Physical activity was self-reported during clinical examinations at years 0(1985/6),2,5,7,10,15,20 and 25(2010/11); smoking status was reported each year (at examinations or by phone, and imputed where missing). We used mixed linear models to estimate trajectories of physical activity under varying smoking conditions, with adjustment for participant characteristics and secular trends. Findings We found significant interactions by race-sex (P=.02 for the interaction with cumulative years of smoking), hence we investigated the subgroups separately. Increasing years of smoking were associated with a decline in physical activity in black and white women and black men (e.g. coefficient for 10 years of smoking:−0.14; 95% CI:−0.20 to −0.07,P<0.001 for white women). An increase in physical activity was associated with years since smoking cessation in white men (coefficient 0.06;95%CI:0 to 0.13,P=0.05). The physical activity trajectory for persons who quit progressively diverged towards higher physical activity from the expected trajectory had smoking continued. For example, physical activity was 34% higher (95%CI:18%,52%;P<0.001) for white women 10 years after stopping compared with continuing smoking for those 10 years(P = 0.21 for race/sex differences). Conclusions Smokers who quit have progressively higher levels of physical activity in the years after quitting compared with continuing smokers.

“…On average, smokers experience almost 5 kg of weight gain in the year after quitting, with 41% and 7% gaining at least 5 kg and 10 kg, respectively (Pisinger & Jorgensen, 2007) and 9 kg over 8 years (Lycett, Munafò, Johnstone, Murphy, & Aveyard, 2011), with associated increased health risks (Yeh, Duncan, Schmidt, Wang, & Brancati, 2010). Fear of such changes may prevent quitting or causes relapse (Perkins, 1993).…”

Weight Gain After Smoking Cessation and Lifestyle Strategies to Reduce it

et al. 2020

Background: Weight gain following smoking cessation reduces the incentive to quit, especially among women. Exercise and diet interventions may reduce postcessation weight gain, but their long-term effect has not been estimated in randomized trials. Methods: We estimated the long-term reduction in postcessation weight gain among women under smoking cessation alone or combined with (1) moderate-to-vigorous exercise (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes/day), and (2) exercise and diet modification (≤2 servings/week of unprocessed red meat; ≥5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables; minimal sugar-sweetened beverages, sweets and desserts, potato chips or fried potatoes, and processed red meat). Results: Among 10,087 eligible smokers in the Nurses’ Health Study and 9,271 in the Nurses’ Health Study II, the estimated 10-year mean weights under smoking cessation were 75.0 (95% CI = 74.7, 75.5) kg and 79.0 (78.2, 79.6) kg, respectively. Pooling both cohorts, the estimated postcessation mean weight gain was 4.9 (7.3, 2.6) kg lower under a hypothetical strategy of exercising at least 30 minutes/day and diet modification, and 5.9 (8.0, 3.8) kg lower under exercising at least 60 minutes/day and diet modification, compared with smoking cessation without exercising. Conclusions: In this study, substantial weight gain occurred in women after smoking cessation, but we estimate that exercise and dietary modifications could have averted most of it.
