No. Smoking has not been directly related to fluid retention.

Fluid retention is a huge sign that something is wrong with your body; something is out of balance and needs to be fixed. If you smoke and notice fluid retention you should go see a doctor because you may have a broad range of things from a simple yeast infection to congestive heart failure.

In fact, it has been noted in literature that quitingsmoking can cause fluid retention. When you smoke, your body's metabolism increases causing you to lose weight. This is very hard on the heart because the main reason for this raised metabolic rate is due to the nicotine causing your heart to beat faster. After quiting smoking, your metabolic rate slows back down causing you to retain fluid as you detox from all the nicotine in your system.
