I was talking to a guy I've done business with for several years now. He's been a smoker for over thirty years. One of those guys who would say "yeah, I should quit but..." He's been off the smokes completely for a couple of weeks now. For the last two/three months, smoking a cigarette would cause him to feel nauseous. He said practically every cigarette left him feeling like he either needed to vomit or sometimes he would feel the urgent need to use the bathroom but nothing came out. When he abstained from smoking, his stomach felt fine. Then, he would light another one up and get all kinds of uneasiness in his gut again. If he smoked before he ate, he had no appetite and would feel sick while eating. Now that he's quit, his appetite is back where it should be. Did anybody else have gut issues while smoking?2 points

A cigarette is already a cocktail of chemicals that will screw up your system six-ways-to-Sunday. Have they found a way to make them even worse? I wouldn't be a bit surprised Boo....God knows what they are adding to all the crap that is already in them. I didn't suffer with my gut ,so carnt help... Just wanted to say I hope your friend stays quit for good...maybe you can steer him here if he needs extra support ...2 points

If gut issues related to smoking are becoming more prevalent, that leads me to one question: What are the tobacco companies putting in cigarettes now? A cigarette is already a cocktail of chemicals that will screw up your system six-ways-to-Sunday. Have they found a way to make them even worse?2 points

Seems like a good time for a follow up post. Jerry the Cat is doing great. The vet put him on a diet, he was getting too fat for his own good, but beyond that Jerry is living the dream. Even bigger news for Wade: he found out yesterday that he is going to be a daddy. I was congratulating him and in a candid moment he looked at me and said: "I don't know anything about raising a baby!" I'm only two years removed from having the exact same thoughts. I assured him they'll figure it all out and things will be fine. I don't think anybody really knows exactly what they're doing when that first baby is born, but we learn on the fly. The fact that I'm being asked for parenting advice feels like a real change of seasons. Congratulations to Wade and Sarah. They will be great parents, they just don't know it yet.2 points

No I didn't but have read similar stories in the past few days of people who were affected in that same manner by smoking - it started to make them feel nauseous and that's why they wanted to try quitting. Odd that I've never noticed hearing about that before now but I suppose it makes sense. Smoking has so many other negative effects.2 points

Never had gut problems but I don`t doubt that it does effect some people. Nasty stuff and cig companies will do anything they can get away with to effect declining sales.1 point
