Thread 41619365

why are some people in hrt so addicted of smoking? the only thing i've heard is that nicotine fucks up your hormone stuff and it must be avoided 100% of the time
they treat smoking a cigarette like eating raw plutonium so why can i still see trans smokers smoking like a nuclear plant while looking pretty doing so? is it all a lie?
i do smoke weed and drink so maybe i'm in no place to judge, maybe thats worse idk

fembrain is too weak to resist tobacco industry brainwashing

They believe doctors who think smoking when you're a tranny WILL give you blood clots
When the truth is that actually happens on IQOS shit lol please smoke real cigarettes instead
For trannies cigs are bad in the same way they're bad for everyone is all.

I stopped when they banned menthols in EU

Idk a lot of people are addicted to smoking and dgaf about their health, maybe youre just pathologizing them because theyre trans

So you just lie ofc lmao

>a lot of people are addicted to smoking and dgaf about their health
i thought maybe the big step of starting hormones could help to change their bad habits, specially when that habit supposedly compromises their ongoing treatment
but i see a world where that just isnt enough because nicotine addiction is truly evil. i thought they kept smoking because the downsides arent really that big of a deal

>maybe youre just pathologizing them because theyre trans
what :3?

idk i quit nicotine multiple times. I think everyone is just suicidal and doesnt care but its expensive and i enjoy smelling nice so i stopped

I used to smoke. Quit tho. But it is bad. It constricts your blood vessels. All of them. Especially the tiny capillaries that deliver blood, to all parts of the body, including your face, chest, hips, and buttocks. Your oxygen levels are lower as well. So you are literally nerfing your transition - your fat distribution, skin health, muscle building in hips and ass if you exercise, etc. You will also make wound healing worse if you ever get a gender affirming surgery. Increases the risk of complications including scarring. Many surgeons will not operate on you if you smoke (and they will nicotine test you beforehand.) So, it is stupid to use nicotine. Especially if you are transitioning. I encourage all trans ppl to quit nicotine. It will improve your transition, mental health, save you money, and literally make you prettier.

If you smoke more than once in a blue moon they can smell it on you.

>looking pretty still
Don’t worry, that punishment will be come and hit them all at once after a certain point. Too often they think they’re genetically immune to the side effects of smoking until they wake up one day with their face looking a little “melted” followed up by the next week of it rapidly degenerating in age. Quitting by then is just too little too late. But hey I bet it was worth it to fit a meme stereotype at the cost of looks, health, and smell.
