I'm gagging when I smoke. Why?

Question:

This is a serious question and no anti-smoking comments please.
I smoke a pack a day and recently when I inhale I get the feeling I'm going to vomit.
I'm wondering what could be the cause of this.

Answers:
The gag reflex could be caused by an involuntary twitch or spasm in the back of your throat. It could be triggered by a number of things. Have you recently changed the brand that you smoke? Did you smoke something "different" recently which may have irritated the lining of the throat? You could even have a restricted airway due to an infection. If it gets worse I would consider seeing a Dr, but be prepared for the lecture on trying to give up. If you enjoy smoking (show me a smoker who doesn't) I would suggest try a lighter brand or slow down if your inhale is aggressive it could just be that which is irritating the inside of your throat. Hope this helps. Happy smoking.

I was going to say you are pregnant, then I see the male avitar, maybe you need to get a light cigarette, mabe the brand you smoke is too rich for you.
