I'm not addicted to cigarettes, but I take one piece of nicotine 2 mg gum daily at work, and it helps me to focus. And I feel that my testosterone level is dipping. Is this because of nicotine gum?

Hello- Nicotine can have a significantly negative effect on a man's endurance, fitness and performance levels. Smoking cigarettes, for instance, leads to weight loss as it kills healthy cells in the body, and lowers levels of testosterone in men, so yes a nicotine gum can also have the same effect on your body.
