Cause #5: Smoking
While smoking a small amount of tobacco is not necessarily going to interfere with your stomach, habitually smoking cigarettes is certainly known to cause problems. In fact, smoking for a long period of time can actually cause your body to produce more stomach acid than necessary.
This, combined with the fact that the nicotine found in stomach acid is an appetite suppressant, can lead to many digestive issues. Not eating when you have an abundance of stomach acid can lead to unhealthy situations.
