I'd say that's pretty extreme, but cigars can be kind of nauseating and dizzy-making if you're not used to them, especially if you're inhaling like a cigarette. I don't know what makes them so different, but they definitely are.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Pretty much any book I've read that was an early children's book describes cigars that way .

I was going to say I'm familiar with that trope.

Um. My apartment has no water. I guess that's what that work crew on the corner was all about. Hopefully it will be fixed by my morning shower!

You think they'll fix it between now and morning? I wouldn't bet your pension on that.

Yeah, but I don't think it'd be an overnight priority for them. Not usually an around-the-clock emergency fix.

Heck, I remember an X-Men comic book issue where Kitty Pryde grabs one of Wolverine's cigars and nearly gets sick. Wolvie just smirks and pats her back and says, "I have a mutant healing factor, remember?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She probably inhaled a lot more heartily than most cigar smokers do.
I think I smoked about a pack of cigarettes when I was in single digits, just to see what was the what. Never cottoned to it. But I did have a spell of a couple years of cigar smoking. Petered out the harder it got to find places to smoke. Not like I was going to do it in my apartment or car or anything.

Water-ma, omnis.
I have gotten sick from the second hand smoke of a cigar, so I would think their effect could be very strong on a child.
I fell asleep shortly after getting home from Easter dinner, and now my body thinks it's morning.
