I am on my 5th day of not smoking and my skin has got really bad..... i dont feel stressed out so I dont think it is that.

Is is possiable for your skin to go bad after you stopped smoking?? I only thought it was when you did smoke, and how long does this last for????

Thanks for your reply Linda........

Ithink a facial treat is a great idea with the saved money...... i am going to the same, I have a phone app which tells me how long i have stopped for and how much i have saved which is just over a tenner which means im half way to a facial :)

After 7 weeks I'm about £150 better off ... isn't it daft that I would feel so guilty if I went out shopping and spent that amount on myself .... yet as a smoker I could never admit how much I was spending. Think I may treat myself to some nice make up.... cos I'm worth it :)

I know what you mean about the amount we spend on smoking but not really think of it.

7 weeks thats really good.. cant wait till i get to that stage.....

Your body is adjusting and learning to live without all those 4,000 plus chemicals and toxins that you were putting into your body, of which over 60 are cancer causing....

If you have smoked for a number of years, isn't it any wonder your body is showing signs of a change being made...?

It's all positive... Stay strong, count the pennies and pounds and then enjoy the facial! :0)
