  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

OK, why do I get dizzy?

Nicotine is a stimulant and increases the pulse rate and blood pressure of the smoker. Dizziness is one of the first symptoms as well as nausea.

Eating before smoking helps balance your blood sugars and raises your metabolic rate so your body handles the nicotine better. If you smoke on an empty stomach your blood sugar level is lower, your metabolism is slowed down and the spike for blood pressure from the nicotine is felt much stronger.
