Jag har rökt i snart fem år (5-10cigg/dag) nu den senaste tiden har jag börjar hicka när jag drar i mig ett bloss.. varför blir det så här? Man känner sig som en liten smygrökare på nytt..
Har aldrig funderat på att sluta röka?!? Innan det händer mer saker än bara hicka menar jag...
För att bota din hicka så är det nog bara rökstopp som hjälper...

What are hiccups?
A hiccup (also called a hiccough) occurs when the diaphragm (the sheet of muscle separating the lungs from the abdomen) suddenly contracts, and the epiglottis (the flap of tissue at the back of the throat that closes the entrance to the voicebox and windpipe during swallowing) closes. The air being sucked in as the diaphragm contracts is stopped by the epiglottis, producing the characteristic sound. Hiccups are common but harmless, usually stopping after a few minutes. However, chronic hiccups that last days, months, or even years may indicate serious underlying disease.
What causes hiccups?
The cause of hiccups is unknown, but many experts attribute it to the stimulation of the nerves supplying the diaphragm. Factors that may trigger hiccups are:
eating too fast, especially hot and spicy food;
excessive alcohol consumption;
smoking;
stress.
