Hello,
There is nothing wrong,nicotine has a vasodilatory effect,due to which there occurs sudden pooling of blood in lower limbs and decreased blood flow to head leading to that abnormal sensation in legs and light headedness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
