What you're going through sounds awful. Smoking eases some of the nausea, you say. Amazing. Never heard of that. Usually it's the opposite. But we're all different. Unless you're smoking Cannabis, which is known to ease nausea. Have you stopped for 24 hours, just to see how it affects things? Just a 24 hour test. In reality it won't seem that long because a third of that time, hopefully, you're sleeping. Sometimes when doctors can't figure things out we need to try different things (safely) on our own.
Upon doing a search, I just discovered that nicotine does indeed help with nausea: Nicotine patch for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting: a prospective randomised tri... So it's the nicotine that helps, but not the smoking of it because of all the added chemicals and of course the inhaling of smoke itself. Have you thought of the patch or some other NRT? That might help with nausea without damaging your lungs in the process.
By the way, I would question any quit smoking site that promotes excuses.
I pray that they soon find out the cause of your physical problems. You obviously came to this site to quit. And you obviously understand addictive excuses (otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up.) You know yourself better than any of us. We are not going to call you a loser whether you quit or don't. If YOU feel like you're a loser for not quitting now, then that's something you have to come to terms with yourself. It is not up to us to give you permission. This is a question you have to answer. I'd call it part of the necessary homework we all went through. In your case it's a bit tougher. Sending a hug.
