Well i dont smoke but my husband does. He feels dizzy when he smokes the first one in the morning and after a plane flight if he hasnt had one in a while. Supposed to give you a good relaxing feeling. You dont have to finish the pack if you are not liking the feeling. It will go away but its pointless to keep on smoking.

Stop and stop NOW. I just saw a show on addictions and get this: Alcohol users have an addiction rate of 5-10%. Cocaine users have an addiction rate of 50-60 percent. Cigarette smokers have an addiction rate of 80% and if you quit you have a 75-85% rate of going back to smoking. It is estimated that in the 20th century 100 MILLION people died due to cigarette induced diseases. In the 21st century it is estimated that 1 BILLION will die due to cigarette induced diseases. We all have to die, but heart and lung disease is a gasping, blue nail and lip, can't get another breath, struggling, thrashing, pathetic way to go. Don't let the tobacco industry turn you into a statistic. Don't abdicate your youth, beauty and strength to enrich the merchants of death who don't give a rat's a$$ about your life or death.

When I was 15 I tried to smoke,, and got that "buzz high".. and then as the room was spinning.. I turned very green and then threw up.....
ended my plans on tobacco..
I have heard it said that if you get through the first pack.. other than being hooked.... and a very expensive and unhealthy habit...... it is supposed to get better.. not quite sure what "better means."
I am a medical professional... and have provided care for those who have smoked all of their life... and now at the end of life.. which was shortened from smoking... it is hard to see them suffer from not being able to breath...............
in fact watch them suffocate.......
don't take your breathing for granted... breathing actually requires a lot of work... the whole concept of air in,, and out.. and the gas exchange at the alveolar level etc.. is a task that requires a lot of physical strength..
It is sad to see someone get short of breath just trying to breath...
and there is nothing we can really do to help you.. except to give you medication... narcotics.. to help you pass more peacefully.
I have lost four family members to lung cancer... all smokers...
do yourself a favor and don't finish the pack....
the money wasted now.. will save you millions later,, both in dollars and more importantly heartache...
and sadness.......

Good idea. Why would anybody in this day begin smoking in light of all the negative consequences that we now know of? Not to mention what it makes one smell like and look like. Oh, and that dizziness you felt was the lack of oxygen to the brain, think about how good of an idea that sounds like. Follow your plan, never buy them again, in fact, why even finish the pack you have, toss it.

......
OR
instead of lecturing him you could tell him WHY he feels like crap after a cigg...
just a thought.
Nicotine constricts the blood vessles, causing higher blood pressure, therefore making you dizzy and sometimes giving you a headache.
When you smoke, it not only restricts the amount of oxygen getting to your brain, but cloggs the tiny little broncheal (SP???) tubes in your lungs, which makes it worse. Then you have the restriction of blood flow from the niccotine.
No wonder you're dizzy!
You'd prolly be less dizzy if you clamped your hands around your neck for an hour!
Good for throwing them away. Back in our parents day, it was cool to do, and they didn't think it hurt anything, now we know better.

Okay DO NOT START SMOKING!!!!! Why did you even buy the pack? Stop now, trust me, or you will regret it!!!
And yes, you do get dizzy and light-headed when you start, but then you don't and it becomes a habit that interferes with your everyday life causing your loved ones to roll their eyes everytime you must leave them for a "cigerrate break", shortening your life, and giving you disgusting, yellow teeth that will make you less attractive to women everywhere!

As a healthcare provider it is so discouraging to read a question like this. I spend so much of my time trying to get people to quit,or helping them quit, or seeing bad chest xrays and telling people they have cancer, or watching people go deeper and deeper into heart disease and COPD. And the amazing part of your question is that you are putting 'effort' into starting this whole process. You are obviously young. Your body is telling you that this substance is not good for you. Yet if you keep putting forth the effort, your body will adapt and so you will be able to smoke more and more. And the outcome is predictable.

just quit and do not smoke again then you do not have to worry about getting dizzy.....almost everybody says that they will only smoke one pack of cigarettes but since the get addicted to the nicorette in them they can't. so stop.

When I used to smoke, I sometimes would feel dizzy. I guess that's part of the reason I quit.

Its the nicotine that makes you dizzy. Im telling you now that if your not already addicted, dont start. I was for 4 years and quit, you feel better and save money. Why start such a bad habbit?
