about

I have been cursed to be born into a family of six kids, thus making me pretty much crazy. However, some good comes of this: I have a wide range of experiences, from hair catching fire to my mom barbequeing with gasoline (true story). So, I've grown quite a repertoire of knowledge, experience, and wisdom to share with the world! Oh, and I can type in complete sentences, which pretty much rocks.

My friend said the first time she smoked a cigarette, she got "high" and she felt jittery and light-headed. Is that true? I mean, can that happen with a cigarette? I'll rate high for good answers. Thanks

It isn't a high as you think of with other drugs, like marijuana. It's more of a light tingly feeling on your skin, a lightheadedness, and a sudden burst of energy. This is commonly known as a "buzz".


All of this can be explained by the fact that not only was it her first time smoking, but because the main ingredient in cigarettes, nicotine, is what they call a "stimulant". It speeds the heart and breathing. This usually happens any time you smoke a cigarette, but it's less noticeable if you begin to smoke regularly.
