I quit smoking on June 23, 1998...the day my wife's cardiologist told her he wouldn't see her again if SHE continued to smoke. That was just over 2 years after her quadruple bypass surgery. And she still smokes today.
When I quit smoking, I weighed 190 pounds...and since then my average weight gain has been 10 pounds a year. I'm blaming it on my metabolic process slowing down without the nicotine there to stimulate it, because when I first quit I substituted coffee for the smokes for the first 2 months, rather than anything with carbs/sugar/fat like candy, gum or mints.

As for MY quitting making any financial difference....I simply can't see that it ever did.
