I need to update this one a bit. Linda sent me an email after I posted this original string pointing out to me that I should have asked Robert if he had been off nicotine for the past three months or whether he was just off smoking. I am so used to working under the asssumption that people writing to me from the forum are of course nicotine free.
This is the email I sent to Robert a couple of days ago:
Hello Robert:
I just realized that there is an important question that I failed to ask you. Have you been off all nicotine for the past three months or just off smoking?
Again, if off all nicotine the reactions you are having are more of a psychological nature. If you have used nicotine products like patches, gums, inhalers, etc, then there is another more likely explanation of what is occurring. Please let me know what your method of quitting has been over this time period.

This is the response I just got today:
Hello Joel
Could you please reply on my behalf to the people who have taken the time to respond in the forum.
Just to say thank you and that the advice they have offered has been just what I needed.
I have now thrown away my inhaler and will carry on nicotine free.
Thank you
Robert
Ps.
I have tried to join the members forum previously but was unsuccessful.
I am glad we got this clarified, for Robert's sake as well as for all people reading here.
I am going to attach links to articles addressing this string:
