Hi,

This happened because your body is not used to smoking and could not tolerate the sudden rush of nicotine. The symptoms that you had are those of nicotine overdose. You will notice that with regular use, the symptoms will gradually go away, but this will actually indicate that you have developed tolerance to nicotine and are on the way to becoming addicted. I would suggest that you avoid smoking for ever. It has nothing to offer but harm.

Best wishes.
