Nausea

[KafkaStoleMyBike]

What tobacco are you smoking?

I think it’s easy starting out to lean towards aromatics, but try something light without a super dense topping. Latakia and Oriental blends may be a good start, and avoid perique or straight burley.

I’ve also found that five or six whiskeys while smoking gives me nausea and a headache the next morning, but I’m still running a double-blind research study on the topic and won’t have all the data for another year or two....

I’m not sure I understand the question....

Start slow and taper off.

I got the heebie jeebies a couple times smoking haunted bookshop and ODF . You build tolerance over time . The thing is to put the pipe down as soon as you feel something and no problem. If you keep puffing after it hits you then you could feel nauseous.

If I smoke too much, I tend to get nausea and dehydrated. Drink lots of water.

"If I smoke to much". ????? Who do you think you are kidding???...

Like others have said don’t smoke on a empty stomach. I find a glass of milk helps if I get nic sick.

It sounded good though right? Lol it's more like dehydration....

Eat something beforehand, never inhale, pack your pipe loosely and smoke slowly.

Smoking is slowly killing people so nausea is a natural response of every organism.
Since we all agree to take the risk of eventual eternal sleep once the nausea escalates to that point ... I recommend good quality tobacco. I can smoke heavy nicotine blends but some mild aromatics make me sick. Avoid chemicals from "kiosk" and gas stations, go premium. ?

Smoke some cigarettes to build up your tolerance to nicotine.


I'm joking of course.. but 60 years ago that might have been your answer.

NEVER SMOKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!

Start by smoking the milder blends.
When smoking, sip on a sweetened beverage, coffee, tea, soda, juice, , or eat a piece of fruit, melon, peach, etc.
Smoke slowly....... sip often.

This right here. I find that having just a little bit of something sweet (beverage or snack) goes a long way towards alleviating any unwanted effects of vitamin N.

could go the other way smoke through the nausea with stronger blends. Your tolerance will jump if you do that. Though you very well may throw up and get dizzy. Los snuss is could work for that too.

Buy a can of Copenhagen snuff. Ride the lightening. Everyone needs to take that ride. Hahhahaha

Teasing aside, the issue has to be inhaling, no? I never imagined pipe smoking could really cause nausea. I can see it with a really fat cigar that you go overboard with, but pipes tend to be pretty mild. Is this common? I'm intrigued.

Lol, I'm getting sweaty just thinking about it.

What are some strong blends that you have smoked?

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

I definitely got sick when I first started chewing tobacco. I have not had this problem using a pipe, but I have noticed a difference between pulling in air and pulling in smoke with the former giving a bad feeling.

I've received much good advice here and from a friend regarding sipping. He also said not to worry about having to relight.

What are some strong blends that you have smoked?

I haven't smoked anything considered a strong blend, but happy to take recommendations. Almost any blends that are commonly recommended are medium at best. My strongest go-to right now is Peter Stokkebye Luxury English.
