 You know what is weird? I saw this and laughed, then I thought,  “I don’t actually know any numbers”, so I looked around for some studies.
Apparently, smoking does raise overall testosterone to a fairly significant degree. But that seems to be a function of nicotine. The 400 or so other carcinogens stress the immune system and lessen mitochondrial health, reducing overall energy, and making people more susceptible to disease. 
But the weird part is, lifespan difference between smokers and non smokers is much smaller than I would have thought.
But for so called “redpilled bitcoiners” to spend $10 a day on toxins instead of more Bitcoin is peak retard.
