I never could find the article I was searching for, but guessing it must have been on some other website.  Mainly trying to find out about the awful tingling and slight numbness in the my feet which goes up my legs and also hands and arms.  I still have this symptom and I recall it was talked about in the article I was looking for.  Read that it was an effect of quitting but wondering if it could also be anxiety or both.   Would appreciate any insight to this!  Also, it has now been 3 weeks and 3 days since quitting!!!

This is the post that came to mind but I guess it was something else since I don't see mention of numbness or tingling. 

Did you use search to see if you could find it? The search is quite good on the site.

It doesn't seem like a withdrawal symptom to me although we are all different .....I got lots of canker sores in my mouth in my first 6 months of freedom which as far as I know is not a typical symptom of withdrawal but is a symptom of stress .

Do you have back problems ? Tingling in arms and legs usually stem from the nerves coming from the spinal column ....I would check with your MD .

I think this might be the article you seek?  If not - try searching  for "tingling in feet and hands after quitting smoking" and a bunch of articles come up.
