What Causes Nausea And Vomiting While Smoking Cigars?

Been smoking 3 or 4 years. I smoke little cigars, but I inhale just like I would a cigarette, I went a while and everything was fine, lately, now, sometimes I get really sick, but I ve only thrown up a few times and it doesn t help. It s been getting worse, and lately all of a sudden I will feel very very sick for 2 days, nothing helps it, not zofran or phenergan, I don t feel it in my stomach, part of what I feel is sort of a restless leg syndrome but over my whole body

Hello,

Nausea and vomiting while smoking cigars could be due to various factors such as inhaling the smoke, the quality and quantity of cigars, and individual sensitivity to tobacco. Inhaling cigar smoke can irritate the stomach and cause nausea and vomiting. Cigars also contain high levels of nicotine, which can cause nausea and dizziness, especially if inhaled. Additionally, cigars can contain other harmful chemicals that may cause similar symptoms.

Gastritis or other stomach problems are also associated with smoking. E should check it out with gastroenterologist. It is important to note that smoking cigars can also have long-term health effects, such as an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Quitting smoking is the best way to prevent these health issues, however, this remains your own choice.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
