Spots

[Sparkles]

I am nearly two weeks into my quit.  Has acne been a problem for anyone else when quitting?  I never get spots but seem to have loads now. Not worried or bothered,  just curious.

That's pretty common pumpkin and I was lucky in that I didn't experience it but if you want to read posts from others who have, just type zits in the search box.

Oh and this too is only temporary and will pass

I didn't experience this but, it is not uncommon and frankly, not surprising in the least.

 

Check out how many chemicals we were Freebasing with each puff.

Down to the cilia in your lungs, your body is purging itself of thousands of toxins.

Thank you. I feel like a teenager again. This quit is knocking years off me.

Soon you will notice a vast improvement in your skin. The color, the rosy glow was the first thing I noticed.  Quit a change from a smoker's gray pallor.

 The spots are temporary, don't loose heart.

Pumkin, I normally don't have problems with my skin but did when I quit.  I felt it was that ugly crap coming out of my body.  It also could be the stress and anxiety that comes with quitting.

You are doing great.  Just keep looking forward and this, too shall pass!
