Urge To Vomit Half Way Through Smoking. Smoking Habit For Years. Cause?
Hi, I've been a smoker for nearly 4 years now, I used to be able to smoke fine, but about 5 months ago I started having the urge to vomit half way through smoking my cig. I do have the intention of stopping smoking at one point or another, but my mind doesn't feel ready to quit at this exact moment in time due to circumstances that I need to bare through. If I have a sip of a drink after I feel the urge to vomit then I can carry on smoking the rest of my cig in peace, but it can be a minor inconvenience. What could be causing this?

Hi,
Although it appears weird, I feel what has happened is that somehow your metabolism has changed and the nicotine that is delivered to your body is slightly more than what your body was used to, resulting in mild symptoms of nicotine intoxication like nausea. This can also happen because of a change in the brand of the cigar.
The other thing is that life will always bring some tensions and worries. So there never is a perfect time to quit. Please give a sincere thought to quitting or at least cutting down. Each puff takes a bit of health away from you. Even cutting down will make a difference.
Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
