Why Do Cigarettes Give Me a Headache?

Question

Why do they?

Answer 1

nicotine constricts blood vessels, raising blood pressure, which can lead to headaches, and also lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide, cyanide.....all sorts of chemicals in cigarette smoke which can easily cause headaches....along with heart disease and lung cancer.
Happy Puffing.

Answer 2

it could be an underlying problem from something else and the ciggies just aggravate it. have you tried drinking more water? i used to ge the same thing and the headaches were pretty bad almost straight after smoking, so i feel your pain ... and i realised i was hardly drinking any water. have you increased the strength of your ciggies? even if you haven't, maybe try dropping down to a lower strength and see if that helps - your body might just need a break! and yes ... i know ciggies are bad and stinky as others have said and you shouldnt be doing it anyway ... but each to their own. if you're gonna do it anyway, you might as well enjoy it - so try the water thing or lower the strength/change brand for a while.

Answer 3

Because nicotine causes the blood vessels to constrict, which raises your blood pressure, which gives you a headache. Guess that's a pretty good indicator that you shouldn't be smoking?
