So out of curiosity I had a cigarette, i'm not a smoker and don't want to be so have no idea why i did it but after it I was so sick, I was dizzy, falling over, getting really hot and thought i was going to puke, i had to lie on the bathroom floor for half an hour, i'm still ill but a lot better and its been 2 and a half hours ... OH finally came home and he is giving me cuddles but i still feel horrible, ive tried fresh air, water, sleep nothing is working  But the weirdest thing that happened was my belly started tensing and that, hard to explain but it was such a bad reaction, i know smoking is bad for you but jeezus!! I thought i was going to die at one point, even though i dont intend to do this again (EVER) has anyone else reacted this badly? I know its silly but im around smokers a lot and even the thought of smelling smoke makes me feel as bad as I did just after it and its freaking me out  Please don't judge, everyone tries stuff out of curiosity even though it's dumb  |

It's the nicotine buzz that does it, if you're new or infrequent to smoking, it'll do that to ya  I smoked for three years between the age of 12/13 to 15/16 (bad I know) and it affected me at the very start, but then it never affected me again. I gave up smoking and then last year (19) and I tried one again and the same happened to me Nothing to worry about hun, just unpleasant feeling xx |

It would've put me off straight away but i was stupid enough to get hooked. I'm 22 next month & i will of beeen smoking a good few years (won't say how many as it's embarrassing) but i've only had 1 today compared to the 20 i had a day, so i'm on my way to quitting  Ai've never known anyone have a reaction like that but i know it's possible hun. Hope you start to feel better  x x |

I felt so silly asking! Especially because everyone arounds me smoke and they seem relaxed by it so i try it and i think i'm dieing  well at least i've tried it, didnt like it and now i'm not curious haha Congrats on quitting though, my OH has been smoking since 12 and he tried quitting when he was 16 started again and now he is 19 going on 20, he is planning on quitting eventually, he just doesn't know when | |

As already posted nicotine will have that effect on first timers. It never happened to me, which is why I've been smoling for the last 8 years and i quit just for baby You should be "happy" that it had such nasty effect on you! now you know for sure you won't try it again! sorry you had to feel like poop though
