I used to be an overweight smoker. At my peak, I was around 290lbs and a 52 waist. Yeah, it sucked! Now I'm about 260 and a 44 waist. Feels so good to shop 'off the rack' again.

Anyway, my weight was a combination of emotional eating and bad portion control. I'd go to McDonalds and have a super-sized Big Mac meal AND 2 cheeseburgers. Having the 'munchies' while smoking has never been an issue. Just that my eyes are sometimes too big for my stomach...

Anyway, I'll echo some advice in that keep alot of fruit and vegetables around the house to munch on. Grapes and green peppers (not together) were my two favorite snack items. Also, I would smoke AFTER I ate. This way when I was eating, I wouldn't have an excuse to gorge myself. Also, just excersise. I lost all my weight by walking 4 miles a day, every day. I would drive to the beach, smoke, and then do my walk. 5 months later, my health improved that much that I actually started jogging instead of walking.
