I haven’t really done a deep dive on this, so there may be conflicting sources, but quitting smoking apparently lowers testosterone for a period of time. If this is true, it gives credence to the OP
Although the study in the International Journal of Andrology notes a small drop in T in men who quit smoking, Brahmbhatt points out that the positive impact of quitting vastly outweighs this short lived side effect (1).
“If a man quits smoking he may have a slight drop in T levels— SLIGHT,” he says. Meaning: not enough to make a difference in his mood, libido, ability to build muscle, or energy levels.
