Vessels: Nicotine stimulates blood vessels in the head (and heart.) when you tamper with the size of the vessels you can get headaches. If these are bad and if they persist see a doctor. But you are addressing the most dangerous problem, smoking at all. Don't let the pain stop you from stopping smoking and lowering your risk of all kinds of cancer and heart and brain disease.
