Twitching in thighs
I've recently noticed my thigh muscles twitching, it's involuntary and has been happening since past 2-3 days.
I've been a smoker, and I'm trying to quit. Is it somehow connected to smoking?

Muscle twitching in the thighs can have various causes, including fatigue, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or even stress. In some cases, it may be a benign condition known as fasciculations.
Here are some general suggestions:
Hydration: Ensure you are adequately hydrated, as dehydration can contribute to muscle twitching.
Electrolytes: Consider consuming foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium, or consult with a healthcare professional about supplements.
Rest and Stretching: Get enough rest, and consider gentle stretching exercises for the thighs to alleviate tension.
Reduce Stress: Practice stress-reducing activities, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
