How does smoking a cigarette affect me after a workout at the gym?


How does smoking a cigarette affect me after a workout at the gym?I know there are negative effects from smoking, ya, but are there any inherent traits of cigarette smoke that will affect results from lifting weights?

It lowers your lung capacity so it will make you more tired and wheezy faster. Hope that helps.

You'll absorb more of the stuff into your system.

Well, smoking cigarettes increases the amount of carbon monoxide and reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood - is that good for weight lifting?

smoking restircts your blood flow, and after a workout your blood flow is pretty high, so you slow it down, and in turn your workout ends up being pointless.

why would you bother lifting weights and exercising and also continue to smoke? try and quit for your own sake...its hard trust me I did it but you feel so much better ....Hope you quit!
