    your doc is right...

    but if you're only gonna do one at a time...

    lose the weight first...then stop smoking.

    When you get lung cancer, you'll lose the 40 lbs no problem.

    I'd say losing the weight would be more beneficial depending on how overweight you are. The only basis I have for that is thinking that more health problems arise due to weight than the problems associated with long-term smoking. It might be easier to quit smoking with patches though.

    Lose the weight first. If you quit smoking, your appetite will become even more than it is. I quit smoking for two years (pack a day for about 6 years) and ballooned up to 175 lbs from 155 lbs. I was hungry ALL THE TIME and ate everything in sight. I eventually got back down to my everyday weight, but I packed it on at first. Fell off the wagon eventually and started smoking again

    Lose the weight first, 5-7 cigs a day isn't even half a pack, not too bad. Don't keep it up forever though!

    Tell him you'll meet him half way and lose 20 pounds and cut back to 3 cigs a day. At 5' 11" and 220, 40 pounds to lose seems a lot.

    Start walking around your neighborhood, increase it each week a little more. I started 5 weeks ago going about 1000 feet and today i did like a mile and a half. I have lost like 20-25 pounds without changin gmy bad eating habits one bit. My doctor told me i had to lose weight too. Just dont smoke a cigarette till your done your daily walk, I walk monday thru friday weather permitting and have only missed 2 or 3 days in the 5 weeks due to rain.

    I don't know what your doctor said...I don't know what you heard...

    But unless you are 7 ft tall, you need to probably lose between 75-100 lbs overweight.

    Lose the weight first. Can smoke to hold over appetite. Not healthy, but whatever. I'm trying to lose some weight so I started smoking again.... not smart, but it works if you're into staying unhealthy!

    Im up to 2 miles from 1000 feet 6 weeks ago, drove the distance yesterday to measure it. Takes about 40 minutes to walk 2 miles, time goes quick and you can still eat like shit and lose weight.
