Cigg smoking question?

Question

why is it when i smoke sometimes i get lightheaded and if i sit i fell like im flying almost high and relaxed

Answer 1

its a combination of reduced oxygen in the bloodstream, and the effect of the narcotic effect of the nicotine. the carbon monoxide in the smoke binds to the hemoglobin and reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carry. the nicotine has a calming effect and causes the brain to produce dopamine.

Answer 2

i know the nicotine makes your blood pressure rise ... so logically that makes sence.. hope this helps!

Answer 3

Dude u need to quit smoking...

Answer 4

i get it too... its your brain being deprived of oxygen.

Answer 5

It means that your body had cleaned out all traces of previous nicotine, and then it gets a new hit. You have not built up enough tolerance to the poison.

Answer 6

That depends on how often you smoke and how fast your body can release the nicotine and other chemicals from your body... Simply put, your body gets rid of the toxins before they can get used to them and build an immunity, therefore it is almost like the "first time high" every time... I still do it because it helps me go to bed.

Answer 7

From the drugs and chemicals in the cigarette.

Answer 8

You don't smoke much .  you are getting a high from the nicotine.   Now, If I were you , I'd put down the cigarettes and run like h**l.   they are very addictive and if you think you can handle it , you're only fooling yourself ... I've been trying to quit since I was diagnosed with COPD with emphysema and chronic bronchitis.  That was 2 years ago . I'm still fighting the demon. If you don't quit now ,  GOOD LUCK!!!   Smoking will catch up to you

Answer 9

probably the time span between every smoke....

Answer 10

Because nicotine is a drug.  The drug causes you to get lightheaded and kinda dingy in the head...especially when you are a new smoker.  Old time smokers only wish they could get the dingy headed feeling again.

Answer 11

SMO0OoKE!

Answer 12

occassional smokers get this....we call it a "headrush". but if you smoke regularly i would find those sensations weird.

Answer 13

it's robbing you of oxygen

Answer 14

Then it's early enough to quit... I suggest you do while you still can.

Answer 15

it takes more energy to stand, so you need more oxygen.  you don't get enough when you smoke so you feel lightheaded.  so if you sit, you have enough oxygen and all is good.

Answer 16

from striqnine and loss of oxygen

-

Answer 17

It's called a buzzzzzzzzz.

Answer 18

well you probably don't smoke ciggs regulary, and if u do that's weird that you feel high and relaxed. I used to feel like that when i wasn't a smoker, but sadly i am now.

Answer 19

Nicotine....It makes you feel...Good.

Answer 20

There is carbon dioxide in the cigarette which causes you to feel dizzy.  When I smoked, I felt the same way, but I do not know why  it ceases when you sit down.  I would feel dizzy sometimes when sitting or standing.  I would usually just give it a few minutes and it would go away. (BTW I had to quit because of increase blood pressure.)

As for your other answerers, I just wish people would stop imposing their will on others.  I say smoke 'em if you got 'em.  I would if I could.

Answer 21

lol I get that too feels wierd huh. I've gone down to three a day trying to quit(have kids want to for them but I get really stressed sometimes and give in but i must be slowly getting over it I don't crave it as much but then I've been keeping busy)

I don't know why it does that but I'd swear sometimes I'm gonna faint lol (marlboro smooths or menthols what do u smoke maybe thats a factor if we smoke the same brand the lights didn't make me so light headed but my taste changed to smooths but they feel stronger)

Answer 22

something about slowing down blood flow to your brain i think. ie ur bodies senses become a bit whacked untill it can catch back up itself again - so thats y u get the tingly, lightheaded feeling in my words

Answer 23

it is one of those things that can happen. someday you wil lsee you shoud have stopped and you didn't this is time to quit and its trying to warn you that its not good. it can do terrible things to the body and the heart and lungs are just part of it. when you are older you will most likely be ill and have oxygen to carry around and ot be healty take care.

Answer 24

were can i get one of those ciggerettes???

Mine dont do that!!

Answer 25

It's the nicotine...  Maybe you should consider not smoking.

Answer 26

its jsut a buzz off it... and if usually happens if you havent been smoking long or if the cigarrette you have is stronger than what your used to...

Answer 27

quit smokin bro.
