I've noticed that staying hydrated is the single greatest aid in avoiding the nicotine. Many people will tell you a full stomach is the key. This is correct, but it wont help nearly as much as being hydrated.

There are a few reasons why I drink water before, during and after smoking. Before is to help avoid what happened to you. During is because I get the best flavors from the cigar with water. After is because I get a bit of dry mouth some times from certain smokes and the after taste isn't always pleasant. If I know I am going to be enjoying a nice full bodied smoke I make sure at least an hour before I light up I drink a couple glasses of water. Normally I will eat something just to keep my stomach a bit more calm, but I feel the nicotine doesn't hit my stomach nearly as much as it does my head (this is why the water is such a huge help).

Hopefully it's as simple as just drinking an extra glass of water a day. Try it next time you are smoking a full bodied powerhouse and see if it makes a difference at all.

Full stomach..... empty stomach..... water or wine...... it's all the same to me. I've gotten gut punches from some smokes no matter whats in my belly. I've never had to run to the bathroom yet (knock on wood), but I've had to sit down.

How often do you smoke? Once or twice a day? Usually at the same time?

I feel like this fairly often, being the noob that I am, but I'll try the hydration suggestion.

I usually smoke 3-4 days a week most days one some 2-3 times in a day I've had to sit down before for some reason I get hit the first time I smoke a new cigar and not so much after that like first desiel I was sweating from everywhere then they seam like milds to me after that same with many blends. This was much more intense then anything before and 1 minute later I was good to go could have smoke another. Maybe not a V though.

i personally think hydration is even slightly more important than food.
