Smoking

[needthePUMP]

This is a question i have been wondering about for awhile...does smoking ciggs in anyway halt or hurt gains?? I have heard having a smoke after the gym wipes out you workout and all other stuff like that but i have never really been sure. I am not a chain smoker or anything but i enjoy the occasional smoke throughout the day and i was wondering.

When I get back from the gym, the last thing I need is a cigar.

I Personally Hate Cigs In Every Way, But I Do Not Believe They Will Wipe Out Any Gains. I Have Seen Several Bodybuilders Smoke The Occasional Cig And They Still Frickin Look Good. I Tell You What Though, You Stop Buying Smokes And Put That Money In Your 401k, 403b, Or Ira. Good Luck!

Smoking is responsible for a whole host of problems; even second hand smoke causes lesser insulin response. Former smokers never fully recover. It also raises homocysteine levels. Lowers immune system. Andsoforth.

markus rhul smokes. That being said, it's a waste of health, time and money plus it makes you fucking stink.

Any smoking constricts blood vessels. I don't think that's good for gains.

bad for your insurance too, if they find out your a smoker or you smoke by looking at your medical records your fuc#ked your rates will go through the ceiling.

Smoking yes kills your immune system and it harms your cardio and your appetite.

O yea it will kill you, cancer cancer cancer. Nicotine is very addictive more than heroin once you are addicted. Believe me I have seen this first hand b/c of family members.

Nicotine jacks up your metabolism to some extent, I'm not sure of the exact figures though. However, I was also under the impression that for most people cigarettes tend to depress the appetite.

My thoughts exactly. That's funny as hell, haha.

the only thing smoking does is decreases the amount of oxygen that that goes to your muscles which delays recouperation. It doent harm strength or size just endurance.

I smoke a cigar every week or two. Is that bad?

I would say it isnt beneficial,but no form of tobacco is.
If do it in moderation a cigar every week or two isnt bad in comparison to most smokers.
Myself if all i wanted was one that often i would just opt to do without.
It is def. not good for you .
