I have noticed a weird taste in the back of my throat, sort of like I had just smoked a cigarette, it is starting to happen more frequently... My boyfriend even said he could "smell" it on me... he wanted to know if I had "cheated" and taken a puff....

I keep reading about side effects from quitting but I haven't seen or read anything about the sensation of "smoke in my throat"....

I feel great not smoking, and look forward to my body getting back to "normal"

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely,

Melinda
