Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
* As per my clinical experience, the onset of painful acne is not a direct
consequence of quitting smoking so far as a period of 9 months is
concerned.
* Additional hormone imbalance or some immune response has to be
considered and evaluated for the same.
I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.
Take care.
