What Are The Causes Of Increasing Heart Beat And Heaviness In Chest After Smoking?

Hello Sir, I have been smoking heavily last 10 years. But since 3 months have reduced it 80%.
But now a days, when I smoke a cigarette, I feel my heart beat is increasing and simultaneous heaviness in heart on left side of chest. Then the heaviness gradually decreases in some time.

Pls advice.
