What Caused The Light-headedness, Rapid Heart Rate And Loud Ringing In Ear?

Hi, I am 19 years old, 160 pounds with no major health problems. I am also on birth control. I am aware that it is not advised to smoke on birth control. However, yesterday I smoked tobacco from a hookah while drinking a energy drink, 3 hours later i smoked from 2 other hookahs in a small room where the smoke created a haze in the room. I began to feel lightheaded. About 15 minutes later when I arrived home, I walked up my stairs and my heart rate increased rapidly to 150 bpm. I also had a loud ringing in my ears that persisted for a few hours. I was wondering what exactly was the cause of these abnormal symptoms and if this experience was dangerous for my body.
