Is This Normal To Be Sick After I Quit Smoking?
I quit smoking, cold turkey, 2 weeks ago. I had smoked for 15 years. Since then I have had ear aches, one side at a time, and a sore throat. Is this from quitting smoking? Or just a coincidence?

Yes, it’s quite normal. Especially to have sinus upper respiratory troubles. It’s not that these problems crop up after you quit smoking, it’s that smoking masks them. So when you quit smoking, they become noticeable.
I smoked for 25 years and quitting uncovered a serious sinus infection that actually required surgery. Apparently I had the infection for years and never reaized it.

Any addictions you will feel sick from after quiting. But ear aches, I am not sure. Your probably sick and having withdraw symptoms at the same time.

Non-Smoker drink alot of water and don’t touch your eyes

First off congrats on quitting smoking! Second, I don’t know if it’s normal, but I do know that I was sick with ear aches after I quit as well.
