Well I'm at the end of day 6. I'm using patches, have cut out almost all caffeine, am drinking loads of water and rooibos, eating loads of fresh fruit and veg but my face has broken out in spots that would put a 14 year old to shame. :mad:
Is this a side effect of giving up the fags do you think?! :confused:

Thanks - at least it's normal to expect this then! Although I would have hoped it would only last a week or so - yikes Duckling, hope I don't have it for another 4 weeks! Well done for getting that far though!
I'm on day 8 now and i *think* they're beginning to die down a bit (fingers crossed I'm not tempting fate by saying that!!).
I've been drinking loads of water though (every time I have a craving, I go and make a herbal tea!), and eating over my 5 a day of fruit and veg and steering clear of booze so perhaps that's been helping a bit too.
Here's hoping they continue to clear up - I want the complexion of a non-smoker!!
