7. Quit Smoking

Since smoking acts as an appetite suppressant, it shouldn’t be surprising that smokers weigh less than non-smokers, on average. According to a publication of the American Public Health Association, cigarette smokers weigh less and are leaner than non-smokers, and their body leanness increases with the duration of smoking. Also, people who quit smoking are likely to gain weight—about ten pounds, in fact.
