Skin problems

[cheeves]

Hi i've been stopped smoking now for five months now. I have been suffering with spots especially on my back and tried various treatments. Is this just a side effect from stopping smoking i have no intentions of starting again as i feel amazing with stopping. I have put a bit of weight on since stopping , but its the spots as it looks like teenage skin on my back. Thank you any advice would be appreciated.

I,ve no idea if this has anythink to do with not smoking cheeves, my skin is glowing since I stopped 8 months ago. Are you eating more sweet stuff since you stopped as this can cause spots. Mybe someone on here can help you with that one.

Aup Cheeves, its nice to see you on this lovely site

First of all a massive well done to you for being quit for 5 months and good for you on having no intentions in starting smoking again, thats the way to go

I've been searching around the archives for you and have found an old post by Emjay, who is 1 of our lovely quit support advisers, this is what she says :-

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,

I'm sure either Emjay or Jarvo will be in touch with you soon, take care now
