Hi ya leelee, its lovely to see ya gal :) :)

Ermmm, zits :o although not a common symptom of quitting smoking, it can be a symptom :o normally in the first month of quitting :o

We think its just our bodies detoxing and getting rid of all the crap that smoking brings with it :o :) :) Lee, our bodies are all different and have their own way to deal with it :) It should only last a week or so :)

Maybe grow a beard :o :D :D :D

Ermm, think its time I flippin wasnt here eh :o TAXIIIIIIIIII

Same as always. Never had them until now. And they are the big monster ones. They pop up overnight. It has to be my hormones. My cycle is messed up and I'm mean!!

Hiya Lee, they are called quitzitz and I have heard of others who also had this. So please don't worry as they will go away and it's just your bodies way of getting rid of the toxinsπŸ™„ Keep drinking lots of water and you could steam your face over a bowl of hot water and a towel over your head to help open up the pores, kinda speeds thing up a bit. You're doing great, so well done and it will all be worth it😊

No Amanda, not a medical term but a slang for quitting smoking and getting spots, hence quitzitzπŸ˜‚ Sorry didn't mean to confuse anyone😳
