Nicotine Sickness

The acute effects of absorbing more nicotine than the smoker is accustomed to: nausea, sweating, dizziness, headache, and a racing pulse. Colloquially called being nicked or getting sick.

It is the most common unpleasant experience for new smokers, and it is worth stating plainly that cigars deliver nicotine and carry established health risks including cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, and lung, regardless of whether the smoke is inhaled.
