Popcorn is fine actually, as are the popsicles, so long as calories, carbs, and/or sugar are not a problem in keeping weight under control. I read somewhere that stopping smoking does readjust all body systems and most people may gain a few pounds even without increasing calorie intake....UNLESS physical activity is also increased. (Don't hold me to that though as I'm working from ancient memory here.)
A snack size (1 serving) of Pops Secret movie theater butter popcorn is 250 calories. Not bad at all unless other stuff is added with it. I'm just one who is rarely satisfied with one serving.
But....if you're not doing 20 or more minutes a day vigorous aerobic exercise, an extra 250 calories can add up over the month. If you ARE doing the exercise, eat and enjoy. (It's a lot easier to do the workout too without lungs full of smoke.......hint....hint)
I've heard sex burns a lot of calories too.
