What happens to the body when one has tea and cigarette together?
When one has tea and a cigarette together, the body experiences a mix of stimulation and strain, said Dr Prashant Sinha. While tea's caffeine increases alertness/heart rate, cigarettes' nicotine stimulates nervous system while adding harmful chemicals that strain the heart/lungs, he added. The mix forces heart & lungs to work harder than usual, creating a short-lived 'rush' that feels energising.
