I amoked before and now after and never had this feeling. When we smoke we suck it into our lungs. Maybe your feeling the pressure from your lungs expanding. I know that if I am talking and take a drink or a bite I will sometimes suck air in with the food or drink and that does feel unpleasant. Maybe that is what you are doing when you take a puff.

I agree with the previous poster...sounds like you are sucking the smoke into your stomach. Hate to give smoking advice lol...but I would suggest breathing and practicing breathing into your lungs so you don't suck it into your stomach. Yes, I smoke - never quit and really don't intend to, but I do know it can irritate the stomach, so...Good luck!
