Why do I get cranky after quitting smoking?

I honestly believe that most of this is linked to hormones, and yes, even in men. Smoking messes with many of our body's functions, and hormones are one of these. Smoking prevents the body from attempting to cure a hormonal imbalance because it is too busy attempting to cope with the ill effects of smoking tobacco. So when you quit, your hormones--in both men and women--go into overdrive. I honestly believe that this is one of the many reasons why we get so cranky when we quit. Hormones affect so many of our body's functions, like our heart rates, thyroid, adrenal gland, and well, our moods. Some people's acne and other hormonal symptoms back off after they've quit for awhile, because their bodies simply heal and eventually self-regulate. Mine didn't.

Can you get a blood test for cystic acne?

Again, any adult having cystic acne issues--whether they just quit smoking or not--should have their hormones tested (saliva test ONLY--blood tests are inconclusive). It's not that expensive, and can be done by ordering kits online and having them sent to you. You then send the test back. At least then you'll know where your levels are at so you can either count it out as the problem, or start down the road to correcting the hormonal imbalance.

Is acne a surface or a body issue?

Acne is rarely a 'cleanliness' issue, or even a surface skin issue at all...it's a holistic--whole body--issue. It's internal. You can clean your face or use certain products to heal it, or even stop your skin from producing sebum that causes it, but ultimately, it's an internal problem that you need to fix.

Does smoking affect estrogen levels?

Keep in mind that smoking decreases estrogen levels... in both men and women. Our current environment is full of xenoestrogens, as I've mentioned earlier. When you quit smoking, you essentially created a new problem: An estrogen overload. Again, this can happen in both men and women, because xenoestrogens don't discriminate based on gender.

Does smoking cause cellulite?

Did you know that oestrogen dominance is what causes cellulite in women and some men? It also can cause acne , sleeplessness, aches and pains, sexual disinterest, abnormal or heavy periods, and a whole host of other issues that affect both men and women. So while you were most likely being exposed to just as many xeno and phytoestrogens when you smoked, you were decreasing those levels in your body simply by smoking. When you quit, you suddenly stopped offsetting the oestrogens in your body, and now you're most likely oestrogen dominant, which is causing your acne...whether you're a man or a woman.
