Am I forever going to be lightheaded?

AshMe

Its been over two months now since I started enjoying cigars, and there are weeks that went by where I smoked daily, even twice a day, and I am still getting lightheaded. Last night I smoked a 5 Vegas Classic robusto and I had to stop with two inches left because I got cold sweats and nauseous (Took me an hour to smoke the 3 inches so I wasn't going fast). All I can smoke are mild cigars. Will I ever be able to venture to the wild side?

smoke em if you got em

Are you inhaling @ all?

AshMe

^^^No. I never smoked cigarettes so even a close whiff of the smoke coming off the tip will make me cough. Can the smoke in the air get you lightheaded? Does it contain nicotine?

You might just be real sensitive. But slow down a bit, that helps. Eat enough, that helps. And stay away from 2 a day until you can handle 1 maybe.

^^^ lol sushi has a lot of rice. So yes. It has carbs. They have deep fried sushi also. The Tempura Bagel Roll for example. One of my favorites.

Skittles, snickers, hershey bar, m&m's are always stocked at my house if I get the light headed feeling. I agree with others though a nice big meal with heavy on the carbs will help.

Oh yeah, forgot about the rice. And the roe! LOL,...... those little eggs. Do they have a roll they call Rice & Roe? They should. Hahaha.

Isn't that sashimi with the rice? Check me if I'm wrong. Sushi is bait; sashimi is bait and rice wrapped in kelp Anyways, eat..

AshMe

^^^No. Sashimi is just the fish slices. Sushi has the rice. You have "old skool" sushi that used to be the ball of rice with a slice of sashimi on top, and you have the modern sushi rolls that are becoming works of art. But, the cuisine all falls under the "sushi" umbrella. When you order, you need to specify to the waiter if you want sashimi, old skool, the cylinder rolls, or the less common hand rolls that look like cones. Confusing, thats why most restaurants just want you to order by the item number on the menu.

This is bad. I do not need any more excuses to keep candy around my house. I've only ever gotten lightheaded once. When I smoked after doing cardio.

Have you tried smoking while drinking something other than water? Soda, bourbon, moonshine?

Soda would be a good choice due to the sugars I'd say...

Probably because after cardio your heart rate and blood pressure are still elevated which means you will likely absorb more nicotine, plus you also are adding in that endorphins rush on top of it I'd imagine.

No I have not. Don't think I can handle the double whammy of an alcoholic drink. I will try soda

Ooo, bad memories, I should have put this on the Noob mistakes thread. Don't celebrate a 5k with a cigar, ever.

Try having a soda with your cigar or sweet tea.
