Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Anxiety, dizziness and sweating in first time smoker can occur due to effect of nicotine. In that case there is no need to worry and symptoms will subside in 10-12 hours.

In case you are regular smoker then you can have these symptoms due to following reasons:
-Anxiety spell after smoking.
-Smoking of cannabis.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
