I'm not addicted. I've only had like 15 in my entire life. And they have been seperated in months, not all at once. The most i've smoked at once was around 3 or 4. I haven't smoked for about a month. Recently my stomach has been feeling bulgy and pulsing and rumbbling, and i feel naseous. Can smoking give you any stomach diseases, or does it jsut affect the lungs/heart?

Cigarettes affect everything in your body. But quite honestly, I don't think the problem with your stomach has anything to do with smoking. It is most likely your diet. You should buy over the counter liquid antacid...such as Mylanta. That is made for gas and nausea. I am sure it will clear up in a few days.
Cancer is a killer...three of my four brothers are dead from lung cancer (the all smoked). My mom died of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), which is definitely caused by smoking. It would be great if you just didn't do it anymore. It causes diseases and death, stinks and is expensive. Just stop.

The ingredients in cigarettes get into the bloodstream and go everywhere in your body - so every part of your body can be susceptible to disease from this pollutant.
There's a theory out there that we all have some form of a genetic mutation, that when it's triggered by a foreign catalyst (like a toxin - aka cigarette ingredients) can trigger a change of the metabolism of all our body, a single cell, or an entire organ.
Therefore, I wouldn't rule out cigarette smoking affecting your stomach - it's something worth mentioning when you see the doctor - that you've smoked.
Definitely see a doctor. :D

Smoking can upset your stomach right after you've smoked, but not one month later. You have something else probably not smoking related but you should definitely get it checked out by the doctor.
