Why does smoking make me lightheaded?
I have been a smoker for about five years but recently I've found that my first two or three cigarettes of the day make me feel really lightheaded. I used to get this when I first started smoking, why am is this happening again now?

Smoking is bad for you and your respiratory system. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure this is very serious, so you should probably see a doctor about that. Good luck

Smoking constricts your blood vessels, meaning there is less room for oxygen in your blood. In essence, it strangles you, so the light-headedness is from lack of oxygen. Since you have been a smoker for a few years and this is popping up suddenly, I would be concerned that something is happening with your blood pressure/heart. My husband is a smoker and a couple of years ago he had this same issue. It ended up being a big health scare that ended in a near stroke and trip to the hospital. So go to the doctor to get yourself checked out. Or quit smoking. But I know how hard that is, so if you can quit cold turkey, you should at least go to the doctor so you can have a better idea of what's happening with your body.
