if you are asking about nicotine and ephedra - i have read that some people actually chew nicotine gum or use a nicotine patch in their fat loss stacks. i don't know if this is safe or not, but there are quite a few who do it. do a search for nicotine and fat loss.
otherwise, if you are asking about smoking, like Stryc-9 said, smoking cigarettes is not safe in general.

I've used Nicotine (gum), Ephedrine/Caffeine, just as also (I'm chewing on a 4mg piece of Nicorette as I speak, Ephedrine/Caffeine running course through my veins).
The combination can elevate blood pressure more so than normal, however (more than either used alone), but that is tolerance dependant.
If you're quite accustomed to Nicotine, then the E/C may have little (noticeable) impact (16 mgs of Nicotine per day, as of now does little to elevate the beating beyond that induced by E/C alone [1 Cigarette on average contains ~10 mgs of Nicotine, with only 1-3 mg(s) being absorbed. Per 4 mg piece of gum, around ~1.2 mgs is had at take------this is to give you a point of reference).
So, safe or not? That's not the proper question, as the answer is contextual. Take notice of your heart rate to ensure, as may happen, that it's not drumming at haste.

Ephedrine opems up your airways really well--allowing more smoke particles to get deeper into your lungs. So by smoking while on ephedrine you are multiplying the negative effects.
Not a smart idea in the first place, smoking is positively suicidal when on ephedra (or any bronchodilator)

joncrane is correct. The products your are referring to are bronchiodilators. They open up the breathing passages in your lungs more than normal. That's why it seems you can take endlessly deep breaths while on them, and also why we sometimes cough up phlem while using them. Smoking when taking these products will expose more of your lungs to tar and quite possibly increase your chances of getting lung cancer.
Get off the sticks bro. And besides, they make you stink! :havoc:
