Dermatologist,  's  Response
Some of the symptoms you described match the withdrawal of smoking while other don't.
You might wait for sometime as abnormal digestion and skin rashes can occur following nicotine withdrawal. If the things do not settle in 1-2 weeks which is the normal time for withdrawal symptoms to vanish, then consult a doctor. In the meantime keep him motivated and ensure that he he is supported by you during this period of tobacco cessation. Avoid spicy food for him and encourage him to wash his face frequently.
