Does smoking a cigar and inhaling a few puff raise Blood pressure right afterwards

 

[pute]

^^yup

 

[boo]

inhaling cigars is definitely a no no...dunno about the BP but it will make you sick...

 

[RosterMan]

Yes...makes it high: Cigars, similar to cigarettes, contain a compound called nicotine. Nicotine is a known stimulant that can raise blood pressure. It also causes your blood vessels to constrict in your extremities. This can also raise your blood pressure.

You're lucky you didn't die. Nicotine is the most deadly organic poison on the face of the planet.
I smoked Kents for over 50 years. I think they laid off third shift when I quit. Might just find a pack come my birthday.

 

[boo]

I heaved them up in short order, pissed green, and never touched them until I went to an establishment of higher learning...boy ain't that an oxymoron...taught me all about vice and virtue at the ripe age of 17...

Absolute nicotine mixed with a little DSMO used to be a Company trick. They'd wipe a little on the inside of someone's steering wheel. Guy gets in, feels something sticky, wipes his hands on his pantleg or a napkin, and drives away. 15 minutes or so later, he's dead.
One Company hit involved the same stuff in a beer at a ballpark during a game. Accidently spill some on the victim's skin, apologize for being a klutz, and walk away. If the guy was smart enough to jump up and run to the nearest bathroom and scrub the affected area, he might wind up sick as h ell in the hospital. If not, he doesn't have to worry about the price of gas anymore.

 

[Hippie420]

Fun fact: That ISO kit folks use to make hash oil? It can't make absolute nicotine, but it can concentrate it enough for Government work.

 

[pute]

I never did smoke nicotine.

caffeine's so much better than any form of nicotine ... it always goes great with just a touch of bovine mammary secretions .. I usually only do black, where you can't see through it black, yeah

Understand man cry away you are amongst Brothers

There It Is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That is why I have so very much strack respect for all you bastages. This group is unique.

There are some very tough mofo's in this group, no error. And over the decades, I have learned something about the toughest of humans: They all are softhearted in the area of compassion.

It takes strength to kneel and weep.

Let me guess....you didn't putembk.....

Well, here's the result of an ***-kickin' day -- home after diving in the Tortugas. Filleted every fish, and ate all the bugs. (I love bugs' guts -- the green liver.)

(*snork*) When I wuz 12, I told my Daddy I wanted to try a cigarette like he smoked. He told me I could, but first I had to be able to do some chewing tobacco.

I happily agreed, because chewing tobacco kinda smelled nice. There I was, chomping happily away... and suddenly something was very wrong. We were outdoors, which is a good thing since I was suddenly projectile vomiting everywhere.

Daddy was laughing, and I remember his quote: "If you feel something hairy, swallow quick -- it's your arsehole!"
