AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST PUFF

Your blood vessels dilate larger than they would normally, making you feel lightheaded. More blood passes through your vessels when they dilate so that your body feels a rush. The downfall is that around 20 minutes later your vessels constrict more than usual and your body craves that puff again. That puff will make your blood vessels dilate more allowing more blood to flow through and the body to feel good. It's a viscous cycle. After receiving acupuncture treatment your blood vessels go back to normal so the need for the cigarette is gone. Your vessels will function normally once more. Because they are no longer constricting to a smaller size than normal they will not feel the need for something to make them dilate to something larger than normal.
