Nicotine and Weight Lifting?

Does anybody know if nicotine can/does effect muscle gains or interfere with supplements??

I believe it restricts blood flow. Im not sure how big of an impact it would have on muscle gain though

I know david boston used to use chew/dip (by order of Charles Poliquin) before football games because that enhanced bloodflow.

Don’t know if chew/dip has nicotine in it, and I don’t know if cigarettes have the same effect.

Chew/Dip does have nic in it cuz thats what I do, just wondering if I was wasting money and time if I didnt quit, I know I should anyways…

I remember reading an article which stated it slowed down protein synthesis following weight lifting. I can’t seem to find the article but i’ll keep looking. However , i’ve continued to dip despite reading this.
