This is why I can't smoke anything with dark fired Kentucky. I've puked from a few plugs before.
i sorta miss nic hit. first smoke every morning from marlboro red would get me spinning. but as long as i'm sitting down, it wasn't bad.
Last year I experienced my first, and hopefully, my last case of nic-hit. It was bad! it was so bad that I thought I had suffered a mild heart attack, at first.....but then I remembered that I had smoked my pipe about one hour previous to the first waves of violent nausea, sweating, chills, spinning headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and then... those dreaded, dry heaves. I felt so miserable, that I wished for sweet death. But.... I did it to myself. I smoked on an empty stomach, but lived to regret it, and never to repeat it. Hard lessons- teach best.
NEVER smoke on an empty stomach. Eat something, suck on some chocolate, sip some sweet tea, coffee, soda, while smoking. STOP SMOKING if you feel even the slightest buzz. Some tobaccos/blends are mild, some strong and are heavily loaded with high-nicotine leaf. Find out if the tobaccos you're smoking are nic-loaded. Take precautions.
The bright side: If bitten by Lady Nicotine, once the violent vomiting stops, you'll start to feel better.
Good luck. Now you know.

had to do community service in high school for some shenanigans. So had to work on a crew to do the hours. We were cleaning up the local softball complex and found an unopened tin of bandits. We of course cracked it open and everyone started dipping, girls too. Within 5 minutes everyone was vomiting and running to the bathroom etc. The guy in charge couldn’t figure out what was wrong with everyone. 
Hmm... maybe it seems that the best way to define “nic-hit” from what others have posted is that it is UNDESIRED effects of nicotine consumption. And, I guess, truth be told for me... I never have had UNDESIRED effects of nicotine in any of my 40+ years of pipe smoking. In my manner of thinking, I enjoyed each and every nicotine ride I traveled upon. Maybe it was because I knew many indulgers in pipe tobaccos back then... father, all my uncles, etc. and heard them talk about the variances of their indulgence and watched their methods and patterns. But when I began, I guess I accepted and found joy in every aspect.... including many of the effects others here have noted such as head spins, etc. I presumed, I guess, it was a part of the practice. ?
