Apparently nicotine actually works to inhibit aromatisation. This is pretty ridiculous and it makes me wonder if I should take up smoking again to raise T levels.
There’s still probably more benefit in having better circulation and oxygen flow, but I just thought that this was interesting…

I just want to add that by no means am I encouraging people to smoke cigarettes, and if you do smoke, it would probably be a really good idea to quit right now.
Though it may block aromatase, I think the increased circulation that you can get to areas in your reproductive system would probably be highly beneficial.
Smoking does not block aromatase.
If it did those teenagers that smoked would end up with abnormal skelatal development, brittle bones and almost all would be over 6ft tall.
Also most smokers would have significant bone pain and be at a far greater risk of osteoporosis.
It is possible that smoking may mildly reduce aromatase, if studies are suggesting such I would take the researchers at their word.
Then again supplementing zinc also mildly reduces aromatse so does exercise.
Of course neither zinc supplementation or exercise cause lung cancer and death, neither do they cause heart disease and death or impotence even.
The idea that smoking is a cure to excessive aromatase is not only wrong and poor science it is also absurd.
Killing yourself prevents aromatase as the body dies and with it the action of aromatase but I don’t think that a good option…I guess you could get yourself there via smoking though.
Becoming a heroin addict also prevents excessive aromatase by indirectly reducing the desire for food, which results in consuming fewer calories, which in turn reduces weight and weight reduction reduces aromatase.
Anyone for heroin?
Absurd logic.
You have to see the bigger picture not just the detail.
