Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your friend has symptoms of trembling body and dropping jaw after smoking cigarette which is definitely a matter of concern. All these symptoms are because smoking is associated with increased heart rate, features of anxiety, shivering , higher blood pressure. There are chances of increased sensitivity of your body to nicotine. I Would suggest you to visit primary care physician and get it examined. I think you should quit smoking gradually as your body is getting dependent on it. drink plenty of fluids. Take patches of nicotine and then slowly taper off if you find it difficult to quit.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
