First , muscle is: Basically protein. So why would you want to negate protein synthesis if you are building tissue. Second nicotine whether you eat it, inhale i one way of another or rub it on is still nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant and released some additional proteins and neurotransmitters in your body. Nicotime is an addictive drug with many unhealthy side effects.
