for those who dont know what nicotine is (which is no brainer in nowadays society), nicotine is a stimulant found in tobacco and its found in products like vapes, cigarettes, snus, etc
nicotine also increases your testosterone in some cases by stimulating the nervous system and affecting hormone signaling. studies have shown that men who smoke often have higher total and free testosterone levels compared to non-smokers, suggesting a measurable effect on hormone levels. a larger review of thousands of participants also found that male smokers tended to have higher testosterone overall, reinforcing that this isn’t just a coincidence. there’s even research concluding that cigarette smoking can have a positive and independent effect on testosterone levels in men. because of this, nicotine exposure is clearly linked with elevated testosterone in certain contexts, even if the exact mechanism is still being studied

nicotine also works as a nootropic, it can improve focus, alertness and reaction time that’s why a lot of people use it while studying, gaming, or doing repetitive tasks since it helps maintain concentration and reduces mental fatigue
it also has appetite suppressing effects, which is why users sometimes find it easier to stay lean. less snacking + slight metabolic boost = easier weight control, and like mentioned earlier, lower body fat can support higher testosterone levels. i can tell this shit is legit cause me myself smokes about 10 up to a pack per day and its been a life saver for me when im water fasting and when im having cravings
when it comes to how people actually take nicotine, theres multiple options depending on preference.
1. vapes - vapes are one of the most common since theyre convenient, hit fast, and don’t have the same smell as cigarettes and since theyre convenient you can vape in almost every place (in your room, bathroom, school bathrooms, you name it) and i guarantee you that youll get addicted if you get laced up to the flavor truuuuust me
2. cigarettes - cigarettes are the traditional method and deliver nicotine quickly, but they’re harsher and less discreet and i guarantee you that you'll smell like cigarettes once you finished smoking. i suggest you smoke low odour cigarettes like the esse himalayas
(which smells great (the himalaya variant) me myself smoke it inside my room), marlboro blast
(very accessible for pinoycels like me) , and such but they often contain medium to low nicotine mgs
3. snus - snus are another great option, theyre discreet (placed on your gums) giving a slower but steady release without needing to inhale anything. there’s also nicotine gum and patches, which are more controlled and often used for longer-lasting effects rather than quick hits but they burn on your gums if youre a beginner also makes your gums recessed if used on the dialy but also whitens your black ass gums if you got discolored gums from smoking just dont overuse it
4. nicorettes, lozenges - i have tried lozenges once and it does it work well its just ass im not in the brink of quitting smoking but if youre planning to use this as a nootropic i highly recommend this
4. rolled tobacco
- this shit is crazy it has massive amounts of nicotine and i usually take it in flakes like snus, this doesnt taste good i swear but if you cure it with some food flavoring (organic, no food coloring) it slaps brah and its also cheap as fuck (you could buy a roll for about 40 cents or 25 pesos here in the philippines) overall its great if youre on a tight budget
each method basically comes down to speed and convenience. faster delivery like smoking or vaping gives a quick spike which is why it feels stronger for focus, while slower methods like snus or lozenges give a more stable level over time without the constant re-dosing
and also youll get some side effects from smoking or taking snus and heres how to counter them side effects
lip hyperpigmentation:
cigarette smokers often have fucked up lips and to reverse this just exfoliate your lips (day, night) and if youre really into it just get lip laser treatment
yellow teeth:
switch to vapes or switch brands that has a low tar content per cigarette or brush your teeth with baking soda every night until the yellowness slowly disappears or just get teeth whitening
fucked up lungs:
stop smoking or get your cardio game up and minimize smoking / vaping
gum recession from snus:
switch spots if youre broke or get a root planing treatment
aaand thats all i think

Effect of cigarette smoking on levels of bioavailable testosterone in healthy men - PubMed
The effect of smoking on androgen levels is important given the recent interest in the link between low levels of androgens and the development of cardiovascular disease. Numerous studies examining the effects of cigarette smoking on the levels of total and free testosterone have reported...
