TLDR
It is concluded that smoking and body weight relationships are closely related and pose significant challenges for smoking researchers.Abstract:
This article provides a comprehensive review of the research on smoking and body weight. The relationships between smoking and body weight are evaluated in 70 cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations. The mechanisms responsible for differences in body weight are discussed, the weight-related issues that promote smoking behavior are reviewed, methods for reducing postcessation weight gain are summarized, and future research directions are proposed. A proposed working research model for studying the relationship between smoking, energy balance, and weight gain is offered. It is concluded that smoking and body weight relationships are closely related and pose significant challenges for smoking researchers.read more

The Epidemiology of Obesity
TL;DR: It is likely that a gene-environment interaction, in which genetically susceptible individuals respond to an environment with increased availability of palatable energy-dense foods and reduced opportunities for energy expenditure, contributes to the current high prevalence of obesity.

Time-inconsistent Preferences and Consumer Self-Control
TL;DR: In this article, consumer self-control is framed as a struggle between two psychological forces, desire and willpower, and two general classes of self control strategies are described: those that directly reduce desire, and those that overcome desire through will power.

TL;DR: The increase in obesity worldwide will have an important impact on the global incidence of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, osteoarthritis, work disability, and sleep apnea as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The health benefits of smoking cessation.
TL;DR: A review of the evidence in the 1990 Report of the Surgeon General led to major conclusions that establish smoking cessation as a clear priority for health care providers as mentioned in this paper. But, the evidence has now accumulated on the health benefits of smoking cessation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking cessation and weight gain.
TL;DR: Current information of the effects of nicotine on peptides involved in feeding behaviour is summarized and nicotine replacement – in particular nicotine gum – appears to be effective in delaying post‐cessation weight gain.

Measuring degree of physical dependence to tobacco smoking with reference to individualization of treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the validity of the Tolerance Questionnaire, intended to measure physical dependence to nicotine, was tested in three experiments and significant correlations between physical dependence and degree of acquired increase in tolerance and the temperature withdrawal response were found.
