Allergy to nicotine?

I am 15, and i am dating a guy who smokes. He is 18. Hes quiting, because i want him to. Now i have allergies pretty bad, and we made out today, (not the first time of course) and right now my throat feels funny. My mom thinks it might be an allergic reaction to the nicotine, some how she says i prolly got it from his tongue or around his mouth...

My mom tends to fret...hypocondraict, and she likes to freak me about about boyfriend things, so she could just be talking.

But i am worried, so if thats what she wanted, its what she got. I'm wondering if this is even possible, and if it is, what can i do to fix it?

I doubt he smoked before we hung out today, because he had a nicotine patch in his pocket, and he didn't smell like smoke. And his breath didn't taste like it...

Right now the weather is rainy, and the weather recently changed, so is it seasonal allergies, or is it a nicotine allergie? Because i've puffed on a cigerate 1 time, to try it, and i didn't get sick. And hes smoked right before we've made out, and nothing has happened...

so tell me, do you think its just the weather or tree pollen or what ever?

     If your sensitive to allergies, you can even react to the smoke in his clothes. It doesn't matter if you can smell the smoke or not. If it's in his clothing, it's there. I don't think that the irritation is from him kissing you specifically(lol), but most likely is from a combination of allergens. Smoke is a big factor though, so get him to quit if you're going to be together. Otherwise, your problems will increase. Just because you don't think he smoked or he tells you that he didn't doesn't mean that he's not being truthful.
    For allergies all together, talk to your mother and pharmicist about Zyrtec-D. It's an over-the-counter now and has been a godsend for me. You can also get some honey that is local. It has to be local so it contains the pollens from the local flowers. Eating a tablespoon a day will help increase your immunity. I hope this helps.

Hi,
IF you have tried it and also been with him when he has before it may not be an allergic reaction but an irritation from the nicotine which has caused the throat infection.
But allergic reactions to Nicotine have been documented.
Alternatively it could be , as you suggested, a pollen allergy.Allergy is caused by an oversensitive immune system, which leads to a misdirected immune response. The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances, such as bacteria and viruses. It reacts to substances (allergens) that are generally harmless and in most people do not cause a problem.
Allergens that are breathed in often cause a stuffy nose, itchy nose and throat, mucus production, cough, or wheezing.
Short-acting antihistamines are generally available over-the-counter. They help relieve mild to moderate symptoms but may cause drowsiness. A newer nasal spray called azelastine (Astelin) is approved for those with seasonal or environmental allergies. It is an antihistamine and not a corticosteroid.
