I don't know why, but when I quit smoking 10 years ago I never got heartburn again, and I had it pretty regularly.
kinda burns, but doesn't... not sure actually if it's that acid reflux thing, I've always guessed acid reflux as being that thing where you get a bit of 'bile' or whatever it is go back up your throat. I don't get that, if that's indeed what acid reflux is, so I'm guessing it's heartburn. It might even be indigestion, I've no idea what each of those actually feels like, to know which it is I've been experiencing the last year or so.

I actually started on the ecigs properly around a year or so ago, so smoke ~60 - 80 cigs a week instead of 20 - 40 a day now, so that's my only real 'lifestyle change', though I can't really see smoking less cigs as a cause of whatever this is. I kinda assumed it was just an age thing, like hairs in the nostrils, but have it tonight and it popped in my head to ask here, as it was quicker than googling 'what is heartburn'.
