Weight Gain

Hello, I noticed a well-written contribution today adding more detailed info to the weight gain sub-section. I have moved it to the talk page so that we can work to find a WP:MEDRS source, as the PLOS paper is a primary research study (cross-sectional study). @Rkrukows: thanks for article improvement. Please reach out to the community if you need help finding sources so we can add your sentence back in.

Here is the content that I moved to the talk page:
Individuals with normal weight or overweight who quit smoking, in particular, gain significant amounts of weight.^[1]

stop smoking? have you thought about a smokers rights?

even if you are a doctor or my parent: i enjoy what i enjoy and attacking my choices is not your right to free speech. free speech in not having speech controlled by government and not the right to harass those you disagree with how they choose to live. just so you know. i get angry & start to hate someone when they tell me to live by their choice instead of mine. i have the right to pursue happiness without harassment

as a smoker: every time someone says to stop smoking it is only not Harassment if it is the first time you say it. Repeating unwanted statements at someone is a legal definition of Criminal harassment. i have put up with most people saying to quit smoking because they think it would make my life better. i decide what i enjoy and what i want and repeated verbal attacks to stop smoking are harassment.

so: if you think you have the right to say stop smoking remember i have the right to pursue happiness and that includes enjoying a cigarette. if you interfere with my choosing to smoke you are violating my right to pursue happiness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThoughtlessFool (talk • contribs) 23:33, 30 July 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Get over it, people these days are too pussified, can't even hear people express a view they dislike without feeling harassed. Nobody's interfering with you choosing to smoke by writing a wikipedia article about quitting. It's not like they're smacking the cigarette out of your hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.117.105 (talk) 17:00, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
