Before: Total Test: ~380 ng/dl
Low libido, brain fog, mediocre energy

After quitting nicotine:
Total Test: ~820 ng/dl
Way higher libido, better sleep, stronger erections, more motivation overall

People underestimate how badly constant nicotine exposure can fuck hormones and sleep quality. Especially when you’re running pouches all day every day.

Do one search on nicotine, cortisol, sleep quality and testosterone lol. There’s plenty of data showing chronic nicotine exposure can negatively affect hormones and recovery. A literal 2x increase is uncommon obviously, but if someone already had suppressed levels from stress, bad sleep and constant nicotine stimulation, a massive rebound after quitting is absolutely possible and realistic.

Holy larp, smoking indeed increases testosterone 10-15% naturally. Im not a smoker but this is real. Some studies btw:

So we can just say that this study is worth pretty much nothing:However, the results around nicotine's effects on testosterone can be contradictory. Some studies have reported lower testosterone levels among nicotine users, while others found that nicotine consumption correlates with higher testosterone concentrations

Smoking significantly disrupts the endocrine system, leading to alterations in hormone production and regulation. This disruption can affect hormones crucial for metabolism, growth, sleep, and reproduction, resulting in delayed or impaired hormone messaging. The impact is not limited to one specific hormone; smoking affects multiple hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones (Pivot).



Some of the specific hormonal effects of smoking include:

  • Cortisol: Increased stress hormones can lead to various health issues.
  • Estrogen and Progesterone: These hormones can influence reproductive health, contributing to irregular menstrual cycles and fertility issues.
  • Thyroid Hormones: Active and secondhand smoke have been linked to decreased levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), posing risks for thyroid-related disorders and impacting metabolism regulation.
Quitting smoking can lead to a variety of positive changes in hormone balance, influencing overall health and well-being. Research indicates that discontinuing smoking or vaping can positively impact hormone regulation at any stage of life, contributing to better management of symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.

Smoking disrupts the endocrine system, affecting the production and regulation of hormones crucial for metabolism, growth, sleep, and reproduction. This disruption can result in delayed, lost, or damaged hormone messages. Studies show that quitting smoking may result in an adjustment of testosterone levels, with findings suggesting a potential increase in testosterone post-cessation (Healthline).

To illustrate the potential changes in hormone levels after quitting smoking, the following table summarizes common hormones affected by smoking and the benefits of quitting:

HormoneEffect of SmokingEffect of Quitting
