Hi all
Has anyone else had this?
I smoked for 21 years until I quit on August 6 2012
Been on the Niquitin tabs since btw
Anyway, all has been good, don't particularly have cravings or want any but I can't stop sneezing
It came on in winter time, January I think, and every night ill lay in bed before sleeping and sneeze about 12-15 times
This last week it's escalated though, today I must have sneezed 100-150 times
Anyone else had it or heard of it? And any solutions you come up with?

If it's a concern, go see your doc - he'll run you through allergy testing.
I believe it has something to do with tiny little hairs growing back in your throat and nasal passages which were often burnt or killed off by the smoke. That's why people often get a tickly throat after stopping smoking.
I assume hay fever that was masked by the gunk in my sinuses. I find over the counter one a day antihistamines suppress the worst of it. There's a couple of varieties so you need to play around with them
