Dear Karthik,
Smoking causes nausea and lack of appetite. Many persons smoke when they can not afford food. It depends on how long you smoke and how much you smoke.
Since yours is only months, this is the time to say "NO" to smoking. It will be more difficult later.
Apart from relief from weird taste and nausea, stopping smoking has more health benefits. You will be able to enjoy your food better.
