Yes, of course. The nicotine in tobacco smoke is a vasoconstrictor and that action alone will narrow blood vessels and increase the pressure immediately. If you already have bP, it will raises it further and may lead to bursting of blood vessels: this could lead to serious complications.

Dear Mourya, Please try and quit smoking at the earliest. If you need, you can take the help of nicotine replacement or tablets. Both BP and smoking increases your chances of heart attack at earlier age. Quitting smoking has many health benefits.
