Just wondering if smoking menthol ciggaretes will either limit my gains??? anyone got an answer?

It increases test (which i only recently found out)

nup doesnt kill gains only your body

Try something else to fix that oral fixation of yours, maybe try men.

It gives you cancer, so yes.

Ok good because currently im smoking around 50 cigarettes a day, I wouldnt want to step things up and be at risk of any negative side effects

anything detrimental to your health will kill gains, even simple sickness, because these things will prevent you from working out as much.

smoking damages your lungs and blood vessels so you get tired easier. It's a known fact that smokers have a harder time swimming than nonsmokers. Reduced workout time, reduced strenuousness of workout, reduced gains. Steroids don't increase your muscle mass as much as they speed up recovery time, allowing you work workout more. It's all about amount you work out. so smoking that reduces the amount of workout you do definitely kills gains.
next, you may take a smoke break that a nonsmoker wouldn't. Those small intervals add up over a year.
smoking hurts your body and your body diverts more energy toward repair of blood vessels or mucous membranes than toward building muscle, so workouts are less effective.
I'm sure it also affects your mind and could make you less motivated and depressed. Stress hormones are never good for your body because again, they divert (waste) energy toward other things than building muscle.
There is a surgeon general warning that smoking kills gains, not srs.

Possibly the most broscience I've ever read in one post

Yes it does, but not directly. And the effect size isnt huge.

Mostly to do with pulling down arousal which is required for hard training.
Nutrient distribution is marginally worse
General recovery for a smoker is worse than a non smoker

Smoking wont be the difference between being jacked vs looking like **** but it will make a small bit of difference in the long term

Ask Markus Ruhl, pretty sure smoking didnt stop any of his gains.

Smoking on those pink cigars may limit your gains though OP.

As someone who has smoked cigs for years while lifting, and not smoked at all for years while lifting, the difference is night and day.
