Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query

Smoking is a Risk factor for cancer of the stomach. stomach cancer could initially manifest itself as stomach ulcers.

Smoking generally is a Risk factor for many tumours. As a direct cause of nausea, no. But could indirectly cause nausea in case it leads to cancer . Most cancers lead to production of chemicals in the body that cause nausea.

I think it's too early to be scared . I suggest a proper clinical examination by your family physician first and targeted blood exams to be done.

Other very common causes of nausea like intestinal infections, liver disease need to checked first.

Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
