The nicotine hit

[salvy2]

Lately i have been getting a little bit of an unpleasant nicotine rush. it gives me a dizzy feeling and a headache usually follows. I have always smoked many different blends (for the better part of 30 yesrs) and it was never this bad. I dont want this to destroy my hobby as that would destroy the one thing i am passionate about. Please advise

Be sure you have eaten is one thing. Another might be trying some of the lower nicotine blends. I personally have never had that problem. I tend to enjoy blends that should put down a horse.

What are you smoking when you get dizzy ?

Im with lonestar. After 30yrs a blend is starting to make you dizzy? What changed in your rotation since the dizzy spells began?

I just wanted to know, so I could order some :rofl:

i was smoking PS Luxury Bulls eye the last time but it seems to happen a little more often then ever before. I guess my real question is does this happen to anyone on occasion? I smoke Anything from aromatics, virginia's to full latakia blends.

I would refer back to Arthurs advice. Make sure you have eaten before smoking, and cut back to the lower nicotine blends. Watch it closely for a month or so, and see if you are still getting the same results.

there was a thread on here about blends with the strongest nicotine hit..I can never find these threads when I need them.

This topic has come up now and then.

Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps you are developing a reaction to perique? Only reason I ask is because you noted it last with PS Bullseye, perique seens to be an allergen to some people, and allergies can develop over time.

Hmmmmmm. That is an interesting point.

After 30 yrs, your constitution may be getting slightly weaker. I've heard some say they eat something sweet when they have the kick, from a sugar packet to a candy bar. Here in Bama, the 'sweet tea' will do the trick, or induce a diabetic coma.
