Why have I developed an allergy to cigarettes even though previously I could take it?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am an 18 year old. I was in a boarding school and tried smoking cigarettes quite a few times. I am not addicted to it. I just thought it was alright to try it a few times. I used to try three sticks in a span of three weeks. And then, I stopped for around three months. And now, when I smoke even two sticks, I puke. I searched online about this condition. And, it says it is lung cancer. Can you please help me? I want to know why I puke?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have been smoking previously quite a few times, then stopped and now again restarted it, you are feeling nauseous. It does not mean at all, that you have lung cancer. So, just do not worry.

Smoking causes gastritis which is very common. I suggest you quit smoking. It has no good effects on your body.

For now, I suggest the following:

Capsule Pantocid (Pantoprazole) DSR 40 mg once a day before breakfast.
Tablet Zofer (Ondansetron) MD 4 mg SOS for nausea.

Thank you.
