Have you ever had a cigarette hangover?

Question

I did yesterday from smoking way too much celebrating St. Patty's day. I haven't had a cigarette since that night! Going on 36 hours now... (we're about 14 hrs ahead of US time here in Japan). It seems that I have a cigarette hangover more than an alcohol hangover whenever I get the chance to let loose...

Answer 1

When I quit smoking (three years ago) I realized that the hangovers I had always(?) gotten were from the cigarettes...on a typical night out, I would smoke 1 + packs(!) a night...and a bad hangover was always inevitable....I hads always assumed that it was the alcohol, but once I quit smoking, the hangovers (for the most part) disappeared!

Answer 2

Yes definitely, I used to get them all the time before I quit smoking. I think that most of the hangover effects were caused by too many cigarettes rather than too much beer. I still drink and I don't feel nearly as bad the next morning now that I've quit smoking.

Answer 3

Sounds like you nearly OD from too much nicotine. You might even be allergic to it as well.

A friend of mine is allergic to tobacco only when she smoke a cigarette, she is not bother by the cigarette smoke itself.

She said that when she used to smoke cigarettes she didn't understand why she was always sick and she said she would get some really bad headaches.

Answer 4

ahh a few drinks and too many cigs, remember those younger days very well. I do believe that cigs can attribute to the crappy feeling you have the next morning, and too much nicotine will cause a headache. I have gone a whole day without smoking when this has happened to me. Now that you have gone this long, it is a good time to quit.

Answer 5

Thats too long for a cig hang over. Before I quit in December it did happen occasionally but from lack of sleep.

Answer 6

Yeah.. weeds give a hangover!

Answer 7

Totally agree! That was me NYE. I went 3 days without a ciggie but then fired up another.....
