A short-term smoking cessation may increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome

Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract

Smoking cessation is beneficial for health. However, its potential harmful impact on metabolic syndrome has yet to be clarified. Six smokers who attended the smoking cessation clinic were recruited and given the nicotine replacement therapy for 3 months. The values of body weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure, and fasting glycemia were significantly elevated after smoking cessation. We recommend that clinicians should monitor these cardiovascular risk factors in subjects attempting smoking cessation.
