15 days tobacco free!

Hi there, I have been 15 days without chewing tobacco. I have felt terrible since I quit. Not being able to sleep at night, feeling sick, etc. Also, I have been getting really warm cheeks over the last couple days. They don't really turn red but they are definately really warm. Does anyone know if this is a withdrawl symptom or not? Lucky for me I have a loving fiancee that has been supporting me over the last 2 weeks. I have been a total handful for her. For others quitting smoking or chewing, please find someone to lean on in this tough time. It helps greatly!

Re: 15 days tobacco free!

Hey Jeff!

Way to go! Warm cheeks, that sounds like maybe you're getting a "hot flash" - lol. Just kidding, don't know what that could be from, as long as you're not getting heart palpatations, or feeling dizzy or passing out, it's probably just a rush of some sort, maybe from nicotime withdrawls? I'm glad you're fiancee is helping you out, that is a huge help! My husband and I are quitting together and it makes a world of difference to have the support!

Good luck to you - 15 days is awesome!!

Re: 15 days tobacco free!

Congratulations on your quit Jeff!!!

I really don't know what it's like to quit chewing tobacco. I smoked it for way too long before I quit last month. However it's just another way of consuming nicotine.

It sounds like you are experiencing withdrawal from nicotine. The symptoms are as follows:

Nicotine withdrawal symptoms:


Irritability, mood swings, restlessness, insomnia, fatigue, inability to concentrate, sore throat, cough, congestion, headache, increased appetite constipation, gas, stomach pain, dry mouth, sore tongue/gums , postnasal drip, tightness in the chest.

You might find it helpful to drink lots of water and fruit juices. They help wash the nicotine from you system while regulating your sugar levels. These should pass in a short time.

Good luck to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
