>believing glowie anti-smoker conspiracies
tobacco is literally a harmless plant from the earth with numerous health benefits. the same people telling you it's bad will also try to get you on SSRIs and other bullshit. non-smokers are actually ngmi
smoking fags is terrible for you but not because of the tobacco. pipe tobacco or cigars are fine
Raw tobacco is outright poisonous -- nicotine is a nightshade toxin.
I used to work on a tobacco farm growing shade tobacco for cigars -- so, all organic, non-industrial farming.
Everyone there got nicotine poisoning just from touching the plants, at some point. It's called "green tobacco sickness".
This is nicotine poisoning. It's characterized by skin burns (these actually last weeks), nausea, vertigo and occasionally intense dread -- and its essentially inevitable if a damaged leaf touches any part of your body. You cannot handle these plants without gloves. Most people would wear a full on sweater just to hold the leaves at harvest time, which usually involved 80-100 degree heat. When cutting flowers off the plants, we were legally mandated to wear what amounted to a hazmat suit, since when cut fully, the nicotine juice leaps out of the stalk in a spray.
Enough nicotine will kill you, and its not as small a number as you think. About 1 gram of nicotine is a fatal dose, which makes concentrated nicotine a viable weapon for murder. Individual plants, if large enough, can produce that; there's about 2 mg of nicotine in a cigarrette, but the curing process destroys some of the nicotine in the plant.
Tobacco is therefore the least harmless plant the average person will ever encounter in plant form. >t. ex-farmhand
Yes. Raising your hands above your head and shouting also raises your testosterone.
People think they look cool when they smoke, thinking you look cool raises your testosterone.
No. The correlation is that on average, higher testosterone men smoke because it's categorized as risk taking behaviour. Tobacco itself doesn't raise your testosterone so far as we know.
that was propaganda back in the 50s so people would smoke lol

Looks like a psyop from big smoke
Nah it just increases the size of your penis, quite annoying for people with already oversized penises.

Nicotine constricts blood vessels and kills gains. It's fine as long as you wait a few hours after your workout before chuffing though
Almost everything that increases dopamine increases testosterone
Awesome I'm gonna start jerking off to hardcore porn every night then thanks anon
Watching porn increases testosterone momentarily , but after a while it desensitizes testosterone receptors
Even cocaine?
It increases your likelihood of cancer by a fuckton
Used to smoke a pipe but put it down, affected my cardio too
Not everyone really cares that much, usually younger people, but as you get older you start thinking more long term
Maybe, but increasing test isn't the only thing that matters. Smoking also fucks up your looks and throat as a man.
Yes. Raising your hands above your head and shouting also raises your testosterone.

Idk but my wife thinks I look sexy smoking my pipe then we bang so I keep doing it
Marlboro did some research. Science says: Yes!
