    The average weight gain associated with giving up smoking is much higher than previously thought, experts have found. People can expect to put on up to 5kg (11lb) within a year of quitting, research published on bmj.com[^] suggests.

    So, smoking is an appetite suppressant and giving up makes you eat more. I really, really, really must think up a totally obvious thing to study and then I'll apply for my grant.

    So, if you want to be uber-healthy, you can: -- Spend a fortune on cigarettes to keep your weight down. -- Spend a fortune on high-protein supplements to get your weight up. Or: -- Quit smoking, and save a fortune in getting your weight up. The best course of action seems pretty obvious, to me.

        Is sea water wetter than fresh water? If you throw a Liberal Democrat in a bath, is it the Lib Dem or the water that gets wetter? I can see a lot of research is needed here. :-D

          Am I the only one who was totally confused by that subject line and tried to work out how it was possible to gain 'thought' after quitting smoking?

                You could weigh 110lbs for that, which is quite waifish.

                    Get a grant to study the effects of gravity. Hmm, sure seems like ever time I let go of this ball it falls to the ground. But will it always happen? Time for science!

                      So why the hell am I hungry all day long? Though to be fair I eat 1.5 - 2 meals a day - one 2 course + desert, depending on if I have something fun to do in the evenings and I forget to eat/too lazy to eat more than fruit/sandwiches.
