Why r my autoantibody levels lower when i use tobacco & higher when i am not using tobacco? i thought tobacco increased autoantibody levels.

Antibodies: Your antibodies, like so many other naturally occuring chemicals in the body are affected with smoking. That is why tobacco is a poison to the body and decreases the immune response aka antibody response.
