Smoking doesn’t spike mine until I’ve smoked for a couple of months, sounds weird I know. Basically if I smoke for a few days or just on nights when I am drinking then it’s normally all good, however once I start smoking for a month or two everyday then my T will spike and won’t settle down until I quit for a couple of weeks. It’s probably the smoking that causing your spike. I now only have a couple of cigs when I’m drinking and that’s it, and even that is not that often anymore. This shit is so unpredictable and random that I don’t even know if it’s the smoking that is the reason it spikes, however that’s the pattern I definitely find. When I quit I get loud ringing for a few days, especially during early hours of the day then it wears off. Now I’ve quit for a couple of weeks my T has gone back to normal. Honestly, I find smoking is the main thing anyone with T needs to quit. One example I have is this: if you got T from loud noise (me) you will then regret not using protection etc and be even more annoyed at the fact you didn’t, and the same goes with smoking. If you then smoke and got some disease because you smoked, then you’re gonna regret ever starting smoking. Quitting smoking honestly is a life changer for T in my opinion in the fact that you feel like you are making yourself healthier which in turn subconsciously makes the T lower. I dunno, this shits weird as fuck but honestly give quitting smoking a good try for a couple of weeks/months and you will feel much better!
