Nicotine Buzzzzzz

[JDTexan]

What symptoms do you all fell due to nicotine poisoning/buzz? I have been nauseous before but that happens in the rare occasion. If I catch a buzz off of a cigar it is usually just a light head.

When we first start a cigar, the blood-sugar level rises but since it takes a while to smoke a cigar that supply slowly diminishes. Then nicotine circulating in the bloodstream prior to metabolism tends to collect in the pancreas, causing the pancreas to produce more insulin than normal. The excess amount of insulin causes blood-sugar to drop, resulting in nausea, high blood pressure, and other undesireable effects that we sometimes experience with cigars including, sweating, being light-headed and a general "green" feeling. Consumption of sugar gives the insulin something to break down, causing blood sugar to rise and mitigating the short-term effects of nicotine on the pancreas.

That is great information, thank you sir. I have for the longest time just rode out the effects. Good to know for over a decade I suffered when there has been a solution.

Cold sweat, dizziness, nausea, light headedness, pale complexion, and tingling extremities are some symptoms I have personally experienced after having two full bodied cigars on an empty stomach in the morning.

Yes, those describe my symptoms perfectly! I don't get a headache, just get lightheaded and queasy stomach...most of the time I know when to stop, but I think I threw up twice in 2010.
