ciggies and test

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17163954/
>Smoking men had significantly higher levels of total and free testosterone compared with men who never smoked (p < 0.001 and <0.01 respectively). Both total and free testosterone levels increased significantly with increasing number of cigarettes smoked daily (p < 0.001). Smoking men had 15% higher total and 13% higher free testosterone levels compared with men who never smoked.
Cigarettes are proven to significantly increase your testosterone levels. Why haven't you started tobaccomaxxing yet, IST?

    "Evidence was also found supporting the beneficial effect of smoking cessation on the restoration of erectile function. We noted marked heterogeneity in patient populations and smoking categorizations across studies, precluding conduct of a meta-analysis. Considerable evidence exists to support the hypothesis/theory that smoking-related ED is mainly associated with endothelial impairment, reduction in nitric oxide availability, and imbalance between oxidative and antioxidative reactions increasing oxidative stress."
    "Exposure to cigarette smoking was associated with reduced sperm count (mean difference [MD]: -9.72×106/ml; 95% confidence interval [CI], -13.32 to -6.12), motility (MD: -3.48%; 95% CI, -5.53 to -1.44), and morphology (MD: -1.37%; 95% CI, -2.63 to -0.11). Subgroup analyses indicated that effect size was higher in infertile men than in the general population and in moderate/heavy smokers than in mild smokers."

    Doesn't necessarily imply smoking is causative. More likely that people with higher test are more likely to smoke and less likely to care about the consequences

      Correlation does not equal causation. Nice try tobacco israelite

      OP failed middle school science. Show me where it says smoking increased test.

      If you're assuming that the effect is because higher testosterone men are predisposed to smoking, then why does the level of measured testosterone "increase significantly with increasing number of cigarettes smoked daily"? You could say men smoke more cigarettes at a rate proportional to their already higher testosterone levels, but do you think this correlation would really be strong enough to have a p-value of less than 0.001? This seems to strongly point to a causative link between the number of cigarettes smoked and testosterone level.

        Although the findings seem interesting, to believe that smoking will make you have more testosterone because of a singular study is misguided. You also wouldn't just stop eating eggs or beef because some studies said they're bad for you.

        As long as you can't explain the mechanism behind it well I wouldn't trust it.

        You do not understand how p values work. The explanation that they smoke more proportional to their existing levels of T is completely possible with such a low p value. You also ignore the possibility that people who smoke cigarettes also engage in other behavior that otherwise increase their test. Perhaps the more they engage in these behaviors, the more cigarettes they smoke. There is a reason people say correlation doesn’t equal causation, it’s because it doesn’t. Doesn’t matter what fricking p value the statistical tests turn up. Any one who interprets this study as proof or even strong evidence cigarettes increase T is a midwit.

        Higher T = More Risk Taking
        If you don't risk anything you will never get what you want. Couple that with low IQ which isn't neccessarily the main company of High T men, but for some it is, and you get the disasterous results that draw the most attention.

    Smoking does raise test. Ever noticed that females who smoke tend to look kinda masculine and speak in low voice?

    I only smoke in the golf course and at bars to pickup women. Lots of chicks smoke when they drink so I sometimes head outside to the patio and carry abs lighter and ask to bum one as an icebreaker

      How long you been on the 1-3 day grind? I smoked 2-3 cigs a day for almost 3 years until I quit despite everyone saying “you’re gonna crack and eventually you’ll be smoking a pack all day.” I miss it quite a bit

        Same except I was around 5 a day for 6 years. Smoking seems somewhat gross to me now but I do sometimes miss it.

        For a while now but after the third one the need to smoke just goes away
        I only smoke when I’m outside and I’m barely outside so that helps
        As long as you don’t take “smoke breaks” every hour you should be fine

        Don't worry about it, I've been smoking 10 cigs for 5 years ever since I turned 15, last month I didn't smoke a single cig cuz I was on a vacation, it's not as addictive as people make it out to be.

            I legit think if I didn’t smoke I would just have drank and been fricked either way, or found myself in jail. Society should be thanking Marlboro because without them I very well would have killer someone or been in countless bar fights because I didn’t have a crutch. My testosterone is just too high. I don’t take rounds but a lot of people tell me I have roid rage

              dont you think that maybe smoking keeps you from starting to deal with whatever issues you have? and down the road smoking wont be good enough to cope with the issues and you have to start drinking heavily ontop of smoking a ton to cope

    Sounds like something is effecting SHBG. Either it's production, or taking up attachment space. Not necessarily good or bad without other known factors.
