Why do I feel sick after smoking?

Question

Okay. Here's my problem. I am 12 and have been smoking for about a month and a half now. I do not smoke everyday. 2 or 4 times a week. Sometimes longer than a week. I get very lightheaded all the every time I smoke. Plus feel so nauseated afterwards.

I don't know if it is because I am new to it or can I be allergic to something in ciggarettes?

My cousin who I usually smoke with, been smoking for maybe, about 8 months. But he is quiting, He said he never got sick when he first started. He also does not get light headed every time he smokes.

Answer 1

Welcome to the club!

When you first start smoking, you have no tolerance to nicotine, so it can make you dizzy and nauseous. What you have to do is (surprisingly), smoke more! Actually, you need to set aside some time to build up a nice tolerance. To do this, smoke a cigarette until you are dizzy, then stop. Wait for it to wear off, then smoke again. Repeat this 8-10 times in one day, and you will notice that each time, it takes a few more puffs to make you dizzy. By the end of the day you should be able to smoke whole cigarettes without getting dizzy.

Write if you need any help or advice!

Answer 2

Simple. Smoking is horrible for your body! Especially at your age. Please try to quit. It makes you look horrid. Not at all cool.

Answer 5

Answer 6

One of nature's little clues..

Answer 7

It's because you're new to it and smoking irregularly. If your cousin is smoking the same amont and not getting the same symptoms, it may be because he's less sensitive to nicotine -- sensitivity to nicotine is a matter of genes, age, and s*x.

You could try inhaling less deeply or not holding the smoke in as long so you get less nicotine, or switching to a "light" cigarette.

Answer 8

Too much nicotine can make you feel very sick and nauseated to the point of throwing up. Since you are not addicted (yet) the effects of the nicotine are very strong for you and are making you sick. Even half a cigarette can do this. Follow your cousin's lead and quit. You will feel very stupid for having started such a dangerous habit in just a few years. Cigarette smoking increases your chances of developing all kinds of cancers, not just lung, in later years. Since your body is still developing and going through a lot of chemical changes, these chances are found to be much, much higher. Google cigarette smoking and diseases and you will find countless articles about how smoking greatly increases chances of a much shorter life.  

Answer 9

you are not allergic to cigarettes you have got as much chance to being allergic to that as being in a plane crash the odds are very small however smoking is a toxin and will give you a sore head at times even more with alchol but if you keep smoking you will get use to  it and be fine but remember smoking kills fu!cks up your lungs in later years you will feel it, but like most young people you don't care its so long away live for the moment, no don't live longer enjoy life don't smoke and remember a smoker wants you to be a smoker with them its takes a bigger person to say no its up 2 u. good luck  

Answer 10

You think maybe cause smoking is bad for you? Just because you can have them bought for you or you steal or borrow from someone else doesn't mean that they are good for you. You'd better quit before you get hooked for good then the next time you might have sick lungs and die.  Besides, smoking makes your breath smell like buzzard farts and make you look 20 or 30 years older than you really are so just quit and you'll feel, look, and  smell much better......

Answer 12

I' m allergic to the tobacco & smoking!

Answer 13

agreed, smoking is gross and the disgusting chemicals in it are making you ill.

It's a bad & expensive habit to start.

Answer 14

That's your body's way of begging you to stop.

Answer 15

you're 12 and you smoke? you will be dead by the age of 20. Why are you getting sick? It is slowly killing you.

Answer 16

What a freaking r****d.

YOUR 12.

AND YOUR SMOKING.

Thats why.

Duh.

Answer 17

Yep, smoking is very bad for your body and cigarettes have a lot of nasty chemicals in them. I would take it as a sign to stop, and find something healthier to do with your time. Trust me, it's better in the long run for you.

Want to know how bad it can make you? When I was younger, I could hear my mom coming from a mile away, because her breathing was so loud it practically sounded like a train. I could have my door closed and have the TV on and I could still hear her breathing as she came down the hall. Whenever she laughs, now, she starts wheezing and coughing and actually struggles for air for a minute. Does that sound appealing to you?

Answer 18

Some people aren't made to smoke.

Plus you shouldn't be smoking so young (do what you want i'm no role model... but your body is still so fresh)

I started smoking when I was 15....

sad to say but pretty much only because everyone else was doing it

It was fine at first but after afew months I got really sick

I could barely eat.... it sucked....I'm still kinda sick to this day

Not everyone is the same....some people's bodies can handle things while others can't.

Now i'm 18... don't smoke or drink and I'm still the coolest chick on the block ;)

if it's making you feel sick.... why smoke?

You don't need cigarette's to be cool.
