Could Quitting Smoking Be The Reason For Tingling Sensation Under Skin And Low Sex Drive?

Hello, I am 22 year old male and my problem or rather concern is that i just quit smoking, rather it has been 14 days exactly and since then though my urge to smoke has reduced i have been getting a tingling sensation under my skin. Specifically the forearm, shoulder and my thighs, also my sex drive has shot up drastically.
Are these related to my quitting smoking? If yes would this tingling sensation fade? And how is this related to my sex drive because it is really driving me insane.
Thank You for your time.
