Does Nicotine decrease Testosterone?
I smoke E - Cigs, because it suppresses my appetite; I am trying to get cut up and lose weight and for relaxing. I smoke my e-cig after every meal. My cardio and weight training hasn't decrease or anything. Are real cigs the blame for cardio and test decrease because of the tar and smoke? No tar or smoke in e-cigs; I know it's not completely healthy. To me Nicotine is like caffeine; which is a stimulant.
Chemicals in E-Cigs:Nicotine, Propylene, Vegetable Glycerin
Chemicals in Real Cigs: Acetone – found in nail polish remover
Acetic Acid – an ingredient in hair dye
Ammonia – a common household cleaner
Arsenic – used in rat poison
Benzene – found in rubber cement

Cadmium – active component in battery acid
Carbon Monoxide – released in car exhaust fumes
Formaldehyde – embalming fluid
Hexamine – found in barbecue lighter fluid
Lead – used in batteries
Naphthalene – an ingredient in moth balls
Methanol – a main component in rocket fuel

Effect of cigarette smoking on levels of bio-available testosterone in healthy men.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11352783
...data suggest that cigarette smoking has no significant effect on the biologically active fraction of testosterone, but may influence the levels of total and free testosterone through changes in the levels of SHBG.
E-cigs are the equivalent of carrying around a nicotine drip. I tried them and found myself smoking a lot more then when I smoked regular cigs. My cousin was a 2 pack a day guy, now he has that e-cig in his mouth all day long so I would imagine he is now smoking 5-6 packs worth. It is 50 times more addictive then real cigs because you are constantly smoking it. Also you are smoking propylene glycol; otherwise known as antifreeze, so you tell me if its safe? Any smoke you put in your lungs whether its vapor or not is still bad for your lungs.
Anonyou smoke regular smokes still dont you?
i smoke e cigs..pack of 20s in oz is around the $15..works out cheaper..i feel a hell of alot better all round-really is chalk and cheese difference in health..teeth are becoming more whiter fingers aint stained..my cloths dont reak of smoke..food tastes better..i can run without feelin like a pile of shit and my cock functions better..
I love ciggys..but my near approaching 40s dont..this ecig bullshit it is then for the now..as for the safe part..you do shoot foreign substances into your muscles dont you-i do.
I still smoke a couple a day and to be honest I think its hindering my goals. Im a menthol smoker and have not found a single e-cig that gives the same hit as a regular menthol. I am hoping ot land an opportunity and if it pans through I will be quitting all together. I got my fingers crossed. Cancer runs on my mothers side of the family so I shouldn't even smoke 1.
Anonyep,same with cancer over this way..as for taste..really got force yourself with that one..i know nicotein aint no saint..but that tar is what fucks ya...also them morning hocks of flem dont happen to me no more
I just started hacking the lung skin just recently; packs here cost 10.00 but where I am moving they cost 3.00. I need to quit entirely before the move or I am fucked. I do not shoot foreign stuff; all Pharma
Anonlol 3 bux..thats thailand prices
No shit, the state I am moving to is a "healthy" state and they push it all the time so not many people smoke hence the low prices. Generics are 2.50 normals are 3.00 and marlboros or newports are 4.00
its not good at all for anything.
Actually the opposite. It increases test slightly but not enough for any sort of benefit. But it also increases cortisol and stresses the heart. Caffeine and nicotine are almost exactly alike. So you can imagine anything caffeine does, nicotine does too.
What about your gh levels? Does it effect that?
Not that I've ever read. You may be overthinking things.
It is said that it stunts people height, thats why i asked. don't know if it's a myth or not.
In kids sure. To what extent I don't know its pure speculation from there no one can ever be certain of that. But there's no benefit to it. There's only negatives involved with it. I know its hard to quit but that's your best option. I've quit smoking and chewing, hell I did both at the same time starting at 15. Quit at 20. It was a bitch to quit but if you can power through it for 2 weeks straight you're done. That's the mark where I've seen people start to feel able to never do it again and not feel like shit anymore.
