Will Smoking Cause Facial Numbness?
I have been smoking cigarettes for a few months now and this has never happened before. But my face just went numb after I smoked my last one and I put it out. I think it s because I was inhaling too much smoke too quickly I m just wondering why my face would go numb

not exactly, no.
The sensation in the face is due to three sets of different nerves at least. and there are a pair of nerves for each section (one to the right and one to the left). "THe whole face" would be a very odd distribution of symptoms. Classically is numbness mainly around the mouth. This occurs with hyperventilation.
