Tell me about it. Quit smoking almost four weeks ago, can’t stop eating since and already gained 5 kg
Smoking has probably killed your sense of taste so I recommend eating lots of low calorie foods like leaves and fiberfill.

This says low-calorie ‘finger-food’ to keep busy with, might help.

Weight gain after quitting smoking: What to do: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

Many people gain weight when they quit smoking cigarettes. On average, people gain 5 to 10 pounds (2.25 to 4.5 kilograms) in the months after they give up smoking.

Sounds weird, but we tried eating just washed and salted cabbage pieces from a bowl to see if we actually care about what we snack while watching movies. Didn’t really make a difference for us lol
