Association between post-cessation weight gain and eating behavior changes.

Objective: Fear of post-cessation weight gain may be a barrier to cessation therapy or may lead to smoking relapse. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the change in eating behavior and post-cessation weight gain.

Methods: A prospective study that included 103 cigarette smokers, who visited the family medicine clinics of a training and research hospital for smoking cessation treatment between June 2018 and December 2018, was planned.
