Does Smoking Cause Tingling Effect In The Legs And High Heart Beat?

I am a 5'5 33 year old 200 pound female with no previous medical history. Sometimes my heart will race when I'm just setting down. I also sometimes have tingling in my legs. it used to only happen when I was stressing about things but recently it has been happening even when I'm not stressing. I sometimes feel nauseous but usually after I get a bite to eat it goes away. I am a smoker trying to quit, not having any luck yet.
