I am curious if anyone else has experienced this. "quit zits" The first two weeks my skin seemed to be okay. Then week three and four passes and I broke out worse than I have in years. I'm getting so discouraged, because one of the main reasons I stopped smoking was because I was tired of skin issues and I was sure it would help. I'm hoping that this is just my body purging and that the intense breakouts will stop. Has this happened to anyone else? This is day 27 of being smoke free.

This is a very common experience. Nicotine blocks all sorts of things and irvseensctovhold pimples at bay. The moment you give up, they have the chance to express themselves. Don't worry, it will pass and your skin will never look better.

Thanks for the insight, I am trying very hard to be patient. I hate wearing foundation but I have been recently. Just happy I have gotten past the one month mark :)
