No more blood pressure increase. You can probably also develop tolerance for the other effects of your chosen stimulant, but maybe not as rapidly.

I'd like to see some studies about it.

I'm 26, I picked up smoking about 10 years ago (damn, that's a lot of time) and I have high blood pressure. That may also be due to genetic factors (both father, mother and grandmother with HBP).

While my BP is usually around 150/90, the three times I quit smoking for more than a week I return to normal values, around 120/80.

Just my N=1

  • I'm pretty active. I also drink maybe 3 glasses of wine a night, take 2 hydroxy cuts a day and smoke/dip. My BP as of last week was 110/80.
