Smoking - losing my mind?

So I've quit smoking now 80 some days, my adventure is in another thread, but I wanted to share a specific experience I've had with smoking over the past 3 days to see if anyone else have ever experienced this, or if I'm off my rocker.

I work in IT, and did a mentoring gig for the past 3 days with a gal, 2 hours each day. She's a smoker , and we had to sit very close together so she could see and work on my laptop.

About an hour into and after our meetings, I felt as if my lips were absorbing the nicotine that was coming off her. I mean I literally felt myself getting a fat lip (that part wasn't imaginary for sure, I could see it in the mirror). So I'd go home, throw some neosporin on it, and it would go away. Meet her the next day, same thing; towards the end of the session my lip started burning and getting fat, and I generally felt less than chipper.

So... have I lost my mind, or could this be a legitimate physical reaction to being in close proximity to a smoker for 2 hours at a time? It's weird also that as an ex smoker I'd have any adverse effects whatsoever.
