Cigarettes
Every time I smoke a cigarette I gag.
Not every drag, but a couple times per cigarette.
What does this mean?
Is something wrong with me?

your body is refusing it and letting you know its bad for you...

It sounds like your body's defense mechanism. It doesn't want smoke being inhaled into your lungs, so your natural reaction is to gag, or cough.
Now what really makes me wonder, is if you gag when smoking, why do you still do it?

There is nothing wrong with you.
There is something wrong with CIGARETTES.
Inhaling smoke makes people gag. It should make people gag. We aren't designed for it. Gaging is the proper physical response to inhaling smoke.
It's a good thing that your mind and body still know to reject smoke and refuse to breath it deeply. The only thing that is different about you then other smokers, is that they have managed to train thier bodies into thinking that inhaling smoke is a-okay.
If you are having any other issues with your airway, trouble breating while exercising or sleeping or trouble drinking or eating, then you should see a doctor and have your airway and throat checked. However, if the only time you have an adverse reaction is while inhaling smoke, that is just your body doing percisely what it ought to do.

Nothing wrong with you... this is your body saying: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!?!?"
While you are coughing, gagging and trying not to puke, ask yourself just how sexy you look at the moment... Might be time to stop smoking, eh? ;-)
Seriously. If you are still at this stage, you can stop. If you don't you will be some shriveled old woman carrying an oxygen tank around, and you will wish you had stopped when your body told you to.
When firemen and paramedics treat people at a fire, what is the most common injury? Smoke inhalation! We weren't designed to inhale smoke. Our bodies really freak out on us.
Note both my parents smoked, and it severely damaged their health.
