Dizziness after smoking? ?

Posted by mike on January 6th, 2009
  • I am 19 and a few weeks back me and my friends smoked and I didn't get much out of it; I never inhaled, just kind of got it in my mouth and let it out. I smoked once every couple days and still never inhaled. However, in the last couple of days, I began enhaling. Yesterday, I got a little dizzy. Tonight, however, I inhaled every puff, and I got so dizzy I could hardly walk. It felt horrible; I did it outside and had to hold onto something to keep from falling. When I got inside I could walk, but I felt nautious like I was gonna puke. I got a drink of pop (diet) and that helped a bit, but I still felt a little pukey. I'm OK now.

    This really caused me to think about flushing the rest of my cigs. I don't feel like I am addicted yet, even though today I smoked twice instead of once. I got to thinking...2 leads to 3, 3 leads to 4, 4 leads to 5...and so on.

    Why did I feel so dizzy?


  • Wow, at 1st I thought you were reffering to pot! LOL.
    Okay, don't smoke anymore, ok? What happened is this- smoking restricts you blood vessels, all over your body. This is why some smokers die of heart attacks and stokes. It is also at least part of the reason you got so frikkin dizzy.
    Smoking also causes the oxygen in your brain to go down, down, down. There is your second reason.
    And nicotine isn't a calm me down as many think, it's acually a stimulant, and with the other things that happen to your body when you smoke, the dizzyness you had is from inhailing too fast and/or too much.
    Please don't smoke.


  • that happened to me when i first started smoking you should try shorter puffs dont inheal so deep and take ur time smoking the cig. also your cig might be to strong try lights or short if your smoking 100's thats normal to be dizzy since its ur first time actually inhealing the smoke. your fine dont worry but Im not ganna tell you to not smoke and stop smoking because that make me a hiprocit since i smoke. but just dont smoke alot i started out wiht 1 a day then 2 a day once to work and on break then 3 a day one to work one on break on from work now its like im almost smoking half a pack a day almost once evey hour.. just keep your self occupied so you dont think about the cig. and take it easy


  • Yeah you're not supposed to inhale so deeply.
    I remember the first time I tried I smoked two cigarettes in under a minute. Needless to say I puked...a lot.

    I would say, just give them up. They're really not worth it.
    If you think it makes you relax, then have one every now and then.
    But no more than 3-5 times a week.


  • The same thing happens to me, but only when i smoke rolled cigerettes.
    When i smoke store bought fags, it's perfectly fine.
    Maybe it was the kind you were smoking. Maybe switch to lights. But in my opinion, you should just quit completely...it's not very good for you in the first place; And i think your body's reaction was trying to tell you that.


  • When you smoke, you deprive yourself of oxygen to the brain. That's why you feel dizzy.

    Try taking shorter puffs if you want to continue smoking and breathe deeply between puffs.

    Or, better yet, don't smoke at all.


  • LACK of Oxygen. This is what cigarettes do to you in the short term. You should quit now while you haven't smoked for very long. The longer you wait the harder it will be. And eventually you will want to quit, everyone does.


  • It's normal. everyone feels dizzy when they first start to inhale. eventually it will stop but at that point you might be addicted


  • Be like Bill Clinton and don't inhale. On second thought, just don't inhale. We don't need anyone to be like Bill Clinton.


  • You felt dizzy because cigarettes are full of poison and your body isnt used to it.... seriously? FLUSH THEM--- when i first had that dizzy effect i was 16 and too concerned with being cool to realize that my body was telling me the sht was making me sick.... i'm 26 now and smoke a pack a day and have tried to quit like 10 times.... just got the patch again and i will do it but it is really, really, R-E-A-L-L-Y fckn hard..... average out $5 a day for ten years--- i have spent a shtload of money on making myself sick..... ur over it.... stop.
