It is common to feel dizzy after smoking. Smoking should be a way to relieve stress and a habit that helps you adjust your mood and work pressure. However, some people feel dizzy after smoking. Therefore, if you feel dizzy after smoking, you must pay attention to it. Is it normal to feel dizzy after smoking?

1. Dizziness after smoking is not a normal condition. It is an abnormal pathological sign called smoke intoxication and smoke drunkenness, which refers to the transient inhalation of excessive tar and nicotine components in tobacco, resulting in symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, or dizziness caused by poisoning of components in a closed and narrow indoor space. It requires immediate medication and quick movement of the patient to a cool, dry, ventilated outdoor area to avoid further inhalation of unhealthy gases in an environment of smoking and secondhand smoke. If the dizziness is more serious, it is necessary to go to the hospital outpatient clinic for oxygen therapy, which can block the oxygen flow rate to about 3.5-4.5L, and it will be relieved after 30 minutes of inhalation. You can also drink glucose water, mung bean water, and healthy drinks rich in vitamin C to promote body detoxification.

2. Dizziness from smoking is the result of the short-term and long-term effects of toxic substances in cigarettes. In the short term, it can cause vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and dizziness; in the long term, it can damage blood vessels, leading to stenosis and blockage of cerebral blood vessels, and dizziness. Smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke will produce tar, volatile substances, N-nitrous acid, condensed aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines, oxygen free radicals, metal materials, and radioactive elements. After these substances enter the body, they have a negative effect on the body.

3. Smoking can cause diseases in many organs or tissues of the human body, such as the heart, lungs, brain, and blood vessels. If you have a habit of smoking, you should quit smoking and drinking as soon as possible, and avoid secondhand smoke. If you feel dizzy when smoking, if the dizziness is severe, or accompanied by slurred speech, facial tilt, hemiplegia, etc., you need to go to the hospital for outpatient treatment immediately. Since smoke contains nicotine and tar, the tar component in smoke has the effect of constricting blood vessels. Some people are more sensitive to tar and will experience dizziness. The tar in cigarettes has certain neurotoxic side effects, which may cause central nervous system pain, dizziness, headache, fatigue and other symptoms. Smoking may also cause increased blood pressure and dizziness.
