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.

Sure. You have made an excellent decision and you must stick to it at all costs.When quitting, you must take one day at a time; though you must give up all smoking at once, and promptly. If you look too far ahead you will get discouraged and will give up. If you sit and count the number of days you have given up, that will also focus too much on achievement. You must focus on the here and now, on that day to be precise. After all quitting is not that easy due to many factors. So even if you fail...more

You have to quit cold turkey because the body and mind will torture you endlessly while attempting reduction in smoking. The tobacco tar in cigarette smoke lines your lung with huge patches that make that portion dysfunctional. Your oxygen carrying capacity is jeopardized, and breathing is impinged. But don’t be discouraged because it is not too late even now to reverse all the ill-effects of smoking. I don’t know what other organs could be damaged but do go for a thorough medical check up to as...more
