Nicotine Hiccups?

[skunk]

I've read a few reviews on some of the "stronger" tobaccos, and people talk about nicotine hiccups. Are they actually hiccups? Like drinking lots of Beers?
Thanks

I rarely get "niccups", but it's usually from smoking a strong tobacco on an empty stomach.

You'll know if you get them.

They are usually short lived and can be relieved by drinking something.

Nothing serious, they just tend to be noisy. :D

L is right, and they are a bummer, but don't last(for me) more than 5-10 min. I usually get them with a strong evening smoke.

never heard of this. I must be immune.

+1 on the immunity

I got it once with a double ligero I'd had before breakfast. It also make me want to right back to sleep.

Makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification guys.

That's very funny -- I just read this yesterday, had never experienced it, and wouldn't you know it, today while driving home I lit up a bowl of Peterson's Irish Oak (known for high nicotine) and within ten minutes started hiccuping like crazy! Must have been the concentrated smoke trapped in the car. (Or is it the power of suggestion........?) ::

Never heard of this - thank God. Do the usual remedies work?

I have experienced before, usually the result of puffing too fast on a strong tobacco. Just relax the cadence and it will subside. Sign on a good blend IMHO.

Rarely do I get them, but if I'm using multiple forms of tobacco close together I may get it. For example, I may have dip in and be using snuff and right afterwards I will smoke a pipe.

They do occur but usually I need to be smoking something strong on an empty stomach, as Lawrence said, for it to occur.
