My poor wife...

oooo35980 · 03-13-2012, 09:12 PM

So the wife has been on a diet, a few minutes ago I looked over at her, she's about halfway through an AVO heritage and I swear she's bright green. She says her head hurts, she feels sick, and she feels like she's drunk. This is the first time this has happened to her, so what do you guys do when a cigar makes you turn colors? She looks so pitiful, now she's laying on the cold floor... What can I tell her to help her out?

give her some hard candy. She might have nicotine poisoning

Ismith75 · 03-13-2012, 09:14 PM

Sugar and water. Give her some candy, piece of fruit etc. Get her blood sugar up.

Had to do the same thing for a buddy on Saturday. Jellybeans, orange juice and he was doing a lot better.

oooo35980 · 03-13-2012, 09:21 PM

Thanks guys, no hard candy so I made her have a few tablespoons of honey and some water, she's not quite off the floor yet but says she's a little better. I've never seen anyone react that badly.

cjhalbrooks · 03-13-2012, 09:27 PM

I havent done had or seen this happen. But i read a thread on here about it. I did learn i did. Pnoon see i do learn you said i would never amount to nothing. LOL just a joke

It has to be one of the worst feelings!! She will snap out of like it never happened. Taki/SteelCityBoy (Kenny) and myself on super bowl Sunday all burned the beloved FFP and then POW it hit us all! We were down for the count then one by one we snapped out of it all within 5-10 minutes of each other we returned to normal. Folks say sugar works to clear up the ill feeling, what has more sugar then a Coke? She will be fine it happens to the biggest toughest men.

Don't take it personally Rebekka! It's hapenned to many of us, even seasoned smokers! Always a good idea to smoke stronger cigars on a full stomach, and NOT in a closed area. BTW, great cigar! Sorry it wasn't nice to you!

It must have been good she smoked it almost to the band in under a half hour.

Probably has a bit to do with it. The AVO Heritage is a fairly stout cigar, speed smoking something like that has the potential to give an experienced smoker a case of the spins, let alone a newer smoker. Best to slow down a bit.

Nobody mentioned mouth to mouth!

Word of advice if you're starting a new diet and aren't sure how the cigars will affect you, take out a glass of something sugary with you to drink and sip it with the cigar, helps combat the nicotine. Root beer is always a solid standby, but I love me some Cheerwine with anything I smoke.

Thanks. I got that one from Cole. So had no idea about it. I will drink something besides water with it, next time.

It's not really poisoning...when the small amount of nicotine in a cigar makes you ill, it's usually referred to as a rush, not quite as far along as a poisoning...for it to be poisoning it would have to be sixty milligrams of nicotine (the amount in about 30-40 cigarettes), whcih has the potential to kill an adult who is not a smoker if all of the nicotine were absorbed. This figure is ~120 mg in chronic cigarette smokers, smoking an average of 20 non-light cigarettes delivering ~1.7 mg of nicotine each daily.

While a soda works, hard candy would take too long...the easiest solution is just a teaspoon or two of sugar and the nicotine rush is usually neutralized within moments...

I always found brown sugar to work as well and fast as about anything out there! I usually put it under my tongue and let it dissolve. Might take a couple of spoonfuls over several minutes.

Makes sense, I've always heard things absord faster in the mouth than in the stomache. My grandpa used to put BC powder under his tonguè when he had a headache because he said it worked faster.
