"Cigarette smoking is associated with hot flashes, higher androstenedione levels, a higher total androgen-to-total estrogen ratio, and lower progesterone levels in women who are not postmenopausal, according to the results of a cross-sectional study reported in the November issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology."
This means that smoking increases your hot flashes, increases your DHEA and testosterone, screws with the hormonal balance and lowers your precious progesterone levels. Not good ladies! Please keep this in mind when deciding to quit in the new year.
