Quit Smoking, Chantix and Weight Gain

Chantix is the quit smoking pill developed by Pfizer.

Did you know that Chantix is in fact associated with weight gain and increased appetite? However the weight gain is less that what you may imagine. On average people who take Chantix gain about 2.37 kg (or 5.31 pounds). Five pounds can be lost in about a week of dieting and exercising.

If you are concerned about weight gain while taking Chantix it is a valid concern. Nevertheless, one could argue that the amount of weight gain is insignificant in comparison to the huge benefit derived from quitting smoking. And as mentioned before weight gain can be avoided with a balanced exercise and diet program.
