Exercise regularly and make sure you don't begin eating more.
From personal experiance: I stopped 1.25 years ago. My weight gain stopped after 1 year. Now I am starting to lose weight. Concentrate on stopping smoking first. When you feel OK then reduce with a healthy eating plan.
Also, once you stop smoking your general fitness shluld improve, so it should be easier to lose any weight gained.

Does smoking effect your body weight?
Smoking CAN affect your body wieght. It is more likely one will gain weight if they quit smoking than lose weight, at least in the long-term, if they start smoking. The main reason for this is that smoking increases your metabolism, which is what helps your body burn fat. If you quit smoking and don't replace that with something that increases your metabolism, i.e. aerobic exercise for at least 20 minutes a day, you won't burn fat as quickly as you did when you smoked. Another cause of weight gain for people who quit smoking is that besides creating a chemical addiction to Nicotine, smoking creates an oral addiction, i.e the need to have something in your mouth. Once you quit smoking, people often times replace the oral addiction of the cigarette with food, and thus, eat more.
Does smoking cigarettes cause weight loss?
It's unclear whether starting smoking actually helps a nonsmoker to lose weight. However, quitting smoking DEFINITELY causes weight gain. So if your plan is to somehow start smoking, lose weight, and then quit (assuming you are able to do so), this is NOT a good weight loss tactic. Especially when you consider that the risks of smoking are FAR greater than the risks of carrying around a few extra pounds (or even alot of extra pounds). Furthermore, smoking reduces your ability to exercise, which is VERY important when it comes to losing weight and keeping the weight off.
