my lips are so itchy after quiting

[arimoo]

it's one day I have quit smoking. each time I try to quit this habit, my lips get itchy. I don't know why? is this a common thing?
the skin itself is not itchy, its like my lips and teeth are itchy form inside. it's really bothering.

If Benedryl is sold where you live, it's an antihistimine and works wonders.

I had an itchy face, mainly my nose and eyes, but yes, I have heard this from others so you aren't alone.
Mine lasted quite a while and I don't know what you can do to alleviate it......hang in there and it will eventually go away.
There are so many different ingredients in a cigarette that it could be your bodies reaction to the lack of it. It will get better : )

Good luck!
