Hello.First of all I congratulate you to quit smoking.It is a good decision for you and your family for lifetime.Smoking withdrawal can cause indigestion problem, gastric discomfort and constipation.All these can be responsible indirectly for your smelly farts.For this as homely available modality after waking up in the morning you can drink a glass of light warm water and then 20-30 minutes walking.If not improved consuld doctor and strat some laxative and other medicines useful for digestion.But better not to revert to smoking.As time will go, it automatically reduces withdrawal.
