Nicotine is a toxin. It’s used in pesticides.
Too much nicotine causes nausea. What you are experiencing is probably a bit of Nicotine poisoning (yes, it's a real thing). Nicotine poisoning causes vomiting and nausea, headaches, shallow breathing, stomach aches and, in the worse cases, seizures and can stop the heart. Nicotine is a stimulant, like caffeine, and too much of it overstimulates your brain and body and causes all those nasty side effects.
You might also not be getting enough air. Digesting food is hard work and you need oxygen to fuel your body. When you are smoking, you aren't inhaling as much oxygen as you normally would be and your body has to work harder too absorb and distribut the oxygen it is getting.
It could be one, or both of those things together. Either way, it really is just your body telling you ‘Dude! I can’t do my job like this!” [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
