I know. It's just one of those crazy fears that is in the back of my mind. I'm pretty sure that's what stops me from actually quitting. I didn't start losing weight until I was told I was pre-diabetic. That scared me. So far smoking hasn't scared me. Everyone in my family smokes and no one has had any health issues or died from smoking related issues. I just need to kick myself and do it. If I can find at least one story where someone didn't gain weight from quitting I will feel better.
