Nicotine significantly increases Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
SHBG binds to your free testosterone and DHT, making them biologically inactive. You might have DHT in your blood, but it can't bind to the receptors that actually build a good jawline or thick facial hair. You effectively lower your free test.

Don’t use it- it’s a vasoconstrictor and fucks collagen. I used snus for a while but quit.

You also can’t use nicotine within a month of a surgery.
