It is not necessary to gain weight when stopping smoking. Body mass index is controlled by two primary factors -- nutrition and exercise. People who stop smoking and also improve their health habits regarding proper nutrition and exercise can become healthier / stronger/ leaner / fitter than they were as smokers. People who stop smoking but do not address nutrition and exercise -- for example people who replace smoking with eating candy or other sweets -- are very likely to gain weight as a result.
If smoking was an effective means of preventing weight gain, there would be no overweight smokers!
