5 9 and 180 pounds is still in the range of ideal weight.
Cigarettes decrease food intake and lower weight.
If continuing to LOSE weight, then that's an issue. This can be classified into several categories. Not taking in enough food: this includes diarrhea associated with the food going through you and not being absorbed. Not having a good intake due to cigarettes is also possible.
Increased use of calories. Fever, infection, tumor, lung disease with a lot of breathing. Having a job or hobbies that burn up a lot of calories. These would be most of the causes. without actually seeing you I cannot give direct info on your particular sitaution.
