Cool study, faggot
>>42805242
It's okay m8
Don't think of it as ruining your 2 month streak, just think of it as you've only smoked 1 cigarette over the course of the last 2 months. still a success.
keep going bro
No. But you can be 100% sure that the men who never tried a smoke has low test.
>>42805266
Nicotine is an aromatase inhibitor (lowers aromatase)
Aromatase turns testosterone into estrogen. You could probably eat the pills you use to quit smoking for the same effect if they also contain nicotine
Not that increasing testosterone to ranges which stay in natty range do anything for muscle though
>>42805334
That's a retarded assumption to make.
>>42805335
This. People think "oh shut it increases test! Do it all!" Without realizing that your body seeks homeostasis and will regulate upward changes in Test with upward chances in estrogen. There is no way to increase test for muscular changes unless you're deficient in the first place.

Risk
Non-smoker ...............................1.0 (base number)
Cigarette – 20 grams / day...........16.0 (i.e. 16 x the risk of non- smokers)
Cigar – 20 grams / day.................3.2
Pipe – if > 10 bowls per day.........6.7
Pipe – if 5 bowls per day..............3.2
Pipe – if 3 bowls per day..............1.5
Pipe – if 2 bowls per day..............1.26
typical - 2 bowls every 2-3 days....~1.05 (almost same as non-smoker)

It's been a while since I was into the testosterone shit, perhaps our friends over at /fraud/ will shit on me if I'm wrong.
Apart from testosterone and aromatase it's possible to manipulate SHBG, DHT and whatnot with supplements or food choices to make the body favor testosterone expression but the question is will that make a difference?
The study about the irrelevance of above average testosterone concentration tested regular men with naturally occuring testosterone with normal hormone balance.
Would be pretty interesting to see a study where 30 people take like 10 supplements that do that, though studies only tend to test one substance at a time.

>20 grams
that's a lot of cigs. Much more than the equivalent of one bowl of pipe.
If a bowl lasts as long as a cig.
>>42805357
hitler probably tried a cigarette once he just didn't like them.
>>42807015
20 grams is 1.5 packs, a bowl lasts 20-45 mins

>a bowl lasts 20-45 mins
You mean just filling the bowl of a pipe lasts 30 min?
>>42805458
True. Pipes are the best for smoking
>Can get corn cobs and clays for nothing, decent basket briars for around $30
>Good quality bulk tobacco cost nothing and last forever
>huge variety in tobacco and flavors
>Awesome way to kill downtime with some coffee and a book
Retards get put off though because they try to light it like a bong and smoke it like a one hitter.
>>42807333
i suppose, but unless youre buying a japanese pipe or an abnormally large on, its probably going to last 20-45 mins
>>42807371
they also are put off of it cause numales and lumbersexuals coopted it in an effort to be """manly"""
>>42805229
What about Cigars?

Greetings from /out/, smoke pipes if you're going to smoke at all.

Cigarettes decrease estrogen so maybe there is a perceived test boost? Or maybe its the change in neuro chemical levels, increasing focus and abstract thought that mimics test?

I want to travel back to the 60s just to fuck some groovy bitches
>>42805458
doesn't pipe smoking correlate with good health since people that smoke pipes as opposed to cigs tend to be smarter and richer?

That's not very many people
>>42805245
They don't smoke tobacco hence the term VAPE as in VAPOR
it's basically nicotine steam out of a faggy looking box.
>>42805229
I'd rather just inject magic asian bathtub chemicals into my ass than smoke. I'm not trying to smell like shit.
>>42805229
Yeah but they make you smell like shit, everyone hates you, you get cancer, yellow teeth and look like a moron.
>>42805229
If I ever get to the point where I'm willing to start smoking for a tiny increase in test, I'll just start roiding.
I only smoke at home and only after I open the windows and front door.
Bought 2 pounds of untreated tobacco leaves (Virginia, Burley and Oriental) for about 10 bucks. I can mix my own blend from it and it tastes way better than anything else I've bought yet.
The lung rarely clogs up anymore and the buzz is better.
Suck my schnitzel.
Smoking and higher T are correlated, but it might as well be because high T individuals are more likely to engage in risky and pointless behavior like inhaling fucking smoke just to look cool.

Tobacco smells great though, unless you buy the ccheapest shit
>>42805334
Yep. Experiencelets are universally low test
>>42811936
Only if you're Jessie ventura from Predator
>>42811461
I fucking love Odens White, especially the mint flavor. Half of my face becomes paralyzed when using it but I don't care.
>tfw they stopped selling snus here in the 90's
>>42813112
What? You can't buy snus in Finland?
If the stimulant use via tobacco assists fat loss then I suppose it could raise testosterone due to less fat aromaritizing your test into estrogen. But i dunno if its inherently test boosting.
i'm a no-smoke... do you think I have to start for more gainz?
>Have had cold
>Havent had urge to smoke in 3 days
Whys this? I want to stop!
>>42813483

You are back in if you smoke another cigarette. Dont fucking do it!

>>42813692
now's your chance, stop.
the deleterious effects of smoking far outweigh the positive effect it has on testosterone levels
the effect smoking has on your cardiovascular system is more than enough reason not to do it
>>42807452
fuck lumbersexuals. just smoke your pipe. the hipster fags will drop them in a year. and stop dropping good hobbies just because hippster faggots decide they are trendy. pic related
