Hi, Mike. Congratulations on being smoke-free for 9, or so, months.
I think Rob's on track with the nicotine withdrawal. You are still putting nicotine into your body and are still addicted to it. You've just changed your delivery system.
During the first few days of quitting smoking there is a purge of CO2 and that's often blamed for the spaced out foggy feeling. But users of smokeless tobacco also experience this and they don't have the CO2 issue.
The foggy feeling and digestive problems will only last a few days, Mike. Maybe it's time to finish the job?
