Kudos to you for quitting =]. I think it's just your body adjusting back to itself since you quit smoking. when you started smoking it probably took your body a while to get used to it. So now when you quit, your body has to re-adjust itself. hope that helps =]

Great that you quit smoking. Please don't start up again no matter how hard it gets. When I quit it was the same for me. I was a long time smoker though. I went through colds and sinus troubles. I think it is part of the withdrawal symtoms.
Remember when you get down and think about smoking again, that a cold is easier to get over than say empyhsema or lung cancer. Keep up the good work. It does get easier.

Congratulations on quiting smoking. Its a hard thing to do. Some people do get cold like symptoms when they quit. Also, it is the time of the year when people are more prone to colds and sinus trouble. It may not be your quitting smoking. Even if it is, your lungs will be in better shape and you will be in overall better health in the long run.

No this is not normal. See your doc to get a good checkup and find out what is going on. Be sure you take a good mulitvitamin and a good antioxidant supplement daily to keep your immune system healthy. Congrats on no smoking but see the doc about the sinus and upper respiratory problems.

yes sir, it is normal. smoking burns the lil hairs in your nasal cavity making you more susceptible to colds, respiratory infections and sinus infections. It's one of those things that keep saying "I told you not to smoke" over the years, but luckily all these things are treatable, unlike cancer. Congratulations on quitting, though.
