My pulse was at 77 and i had a cigarette and my pulse shot up to 150 is that normal?

Fairly normal: Nicotine often raises your pulse and your blood pressure. It is just another reason to quit smoking. See your physician for an exam to make sure that you do not have some other cardiac issue, but also quit smoking.
