I gave up smoking 2 years ago. I weighed 7st 4lb and I'm just about 5' tall, as a smoker... I now weigh 8st 12lb. I think you have to remember that smoking speeds up your metabolism, so it slows when you quit.
Also every few years as you get older your body shape changes and you may put on weight also. I did have a real issue with this in the beginning as I'd never weighed what I do now.
I feel much healthier without the cigs and smell much fresher!!!
Try not to focus on weight issues as you'll end up just doing your own head in!!!!
Good luck on quitting, if I can do it anyone can. I used patches for a week then changed to a nicotine inhalator, I think the E cigs are similar.
