The symptoms described are typical of nicotine poisoning, which can occur with novice smokers and those who smoke too much or inhale too deeply. Nicotine can cause the symptoms of cold and clammy skin, nausea, dizziness, fainting, and diarrhea. Carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and carbohydrates are also present in cigarettes, but they do not directly cause the symptoms described.
