I?ve joined gym 2 weeks back. I?ve started smoking since 2 months. I take one cigarette in 2 days. Will that affect my muscles to grow?

Smoking is known to affect every part of human body. But in your case it is not very significant. Although I would recommend you to stop it.

Dear lybrate-user, Smoking may not affect your muscle growth with gym. But nicotine in cigarettes affect your health. Since nicotine is an alerting drug, you need to smoke more and more in due course. Then you become dependent on it. Getting rid of it become difficult at that time because of the withdrawal symptoms troubling you. So stop smoking right away. Gym or any exercise releases endorphins that may give you a kick.
