Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is quite likely that the smoking is irritating your throat and causing the vomiting that you experiencing but you may want to consider visiting your doctor to ensure there are no other problems.

Smoking is known to cause changes in the throat and other aspects of the airway that can be dangerous.
At present the only successful way to decrease this response would be to decrease smoking.

This may be difficult to do on your own, you may have to enlist the help of family, friends and your doctor.

I hope this helps
