can't smoke cigarettes

I am on day 5 off of 40mg Oxys.  2 days ago, day 3, I started to get nauseous every time I lit a cigarette.  I can only take a few puffs and then have to put it out because I get the heaves.    I do not actually throw up though.  Has anyone else had similar experience?

I know what youre talking about. When I was on oxys, cigs were awsome. Now I'm off them, I cant smoke more than 3 drags now without feeling sick. I've dramatically cut down on smoking due to this, which is a GOOD thing, and Hopefully I'll quit. Granted youre on day 5 and in WD which I wish you luck to get through, and Ive been off oxys for about 8 months. (went from a 300mg a day habit to suboxone for 6 months and have been 2 months clean off everything) but since I quit the oxys, cigs have not been the same. Even on the subs. But who cares, Id much rather be NOT liking cigs and not addicted to oxys than the opposite. I look at it as a good way to quit.
