Will smoking 6 to 7 light cigarettes a day hurt gains?

[curling]

I know I know I shouldn't smoke but I got sued a bunch of times it stressed me out and I haven't been able to totally quit. I have cut it down to less than a half a pack a day. My question is does that many hurt gains some dude said yes but I have never heard that before.

smoking will hurt your breathing capacity which can't be good when lifting

If you can't quit smoking , don't even bother lifting ....

sorry , that is my opinion

try this

everytime you want to smoke drop down and push out 50 push ups,you won't want to smoke when you get up .
everytime you light up and inhale that nasty shit your removeing oxygen from your blood.

I smoked and it never hurt my gains. I quit and it didn't help my gains; however, it did help my breathing a lot.

Don't be a wimp ass pussy. Who is stronger... you or the pack of cigarettes?
