There is data to show nicotine might have a performance increasing effects on people. However, the idea is more that you ingest a safe amount via methods that are not smoking/chewing.
THAT’S WHY I DRINK A SUGAR-FREE REDBULL WITH EXTRA CREATINE, PROTEIN POWDER, AND PROBIOTICS MIXED IN WHILE CHEWING SEVEN ZYNS BEFORE EVERY 15 MINUTE SET. I NO LONGER SLEEP AND MY HEARTBEATS CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED. MY LUNGS ARE PERFECT AND MY BODY IS PRISTINE!
Your heartbeat is measured in Hz
Come to think of it, a normal heart rate would be like 1-3hz depending on activity
That’s 1000 to 3000 mHz!
Thanks for clarifying that
Nicotine itself is hardly worse than say caffeine. But obviously the negative effects of burning and inhaling a cigarette (with all that it contains), especially the carcinogenic agents, is absolutely stupid to think it’s an even trade to pump your workout
I’ve heard that but how else is one supposed to get nicotine in the system? Chewing gum? Patches? Vapes? Is it soluble in a substance that’s safe to consume?
Nicotine is water soluble. You can take a wet tobacco leaf off the plant and it’ll soak into your skin and get you a bit buzzed (or in my case when I discovered this mid harvest if you touch enough it’ll get you massively high and nauseous). Imo one of the best ways to get some in relative safety is grow your own, they’re really easy, and just put a leaf under your tongue for a bit then spit it out
Its highly highly illegal to grow it in my country unfortunately.
Don’t let laws stop you from doing harmless shit.
Unless, of course, your country aggressively enforces that and has extreme penalties.
I smoked for pretty much my whole life. Quit with varying degrees of success many many times. I switched to nicotine pouches 2 months ago, and it’s been fairly great at reducing the damage of cigarettes while not dealing with the actual addiction.
Still need to watch out for gum recession, so it’s not exactly 100% healthy, but smoking causes gum recession anyway and I’m not destroying my lungs anymore, so pretty solid for harm reduction.

Boof it
If u aren’t already addicted, don’t even bother. Nicotine is fucking insane
Alcohol is worse then nicotine IMO. Although my life is shit and I have so many reasons to drink.
Smoking cigarettes for health benefits is like messing with an angry bear, so that you can have a jog.
There is like that one illness where smoking actually helps. I totally forget what it’s called though.
I’ve seen this once before. Addicted and hindered but can’t accept it. So they convinced themselves that what they were doing was right
I mean, this is clearly a bit, but I don’t think addicts smoke exactly one cigarette a day. Some people who smoke small amounts never become addicted. I used to smoke, like, half a pack over a few weeks, forget where I left it, and then go months without smoking. Haven’t smoked at all in probably eight years now, not because I intentionally quit but just because I couldn’t be assed to carry them around any more. (I really only started buying cigs so that I could stop telling people I didn’t smoke when they asked to bum one.)
So you were basically enabling people’s addiction?
What can I say, I aim to please!
Smoking doesn’t increase testosterone … it makes your voice sound like you have more testosterone
I once called a friend at home, back before mobile phones were common, only to have some older man answer. Shit, did I call the wrong number? My mind started racing: his mom is divorced and doesn’t have a boyfriend from what my friend told. It’s unlikely my friend’s voice dropped 3 octaves overnight… Fuck, did somebody murder them and picked up the phone? Am I ne… Oh wait, his mom is a living chimney, ah… ‘Hi *friend’s mom*’.
