When someone smokes very near me, i get a headache ! why so ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain oxygen: Cigarett smoke cause red blood cells to deliver diminished oxygen to the brain, causing blood vessels in the brain to swell. The brain is in a closed space with precious little space to expand, therefore an headache; at least in theory.
