    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.

      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?

              I need to convert to metric, to have a two digit weight.

              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.
