Hi everybody

Could you, please, check my grammar and vocabulary in the following sentences? I appreciate your help

Many women would dare to quit smoking unless they weren't afraid of putting on unwanted weight. To what extent are these fears true and how to keep the weight off?

Thanks in advance

Many women would try to quit smoking except that they are afraid of putting on unwanted weight. To what extent are these fears true, and how can they keep the weight off?

'Dare' is not a good word to choose. Quitting smoking is not something that sounds like it requires bravery/courage.

Best wishes, Clive
