                                Multiple studies demonstrate that smoking, which contains nicotine, impairs the body's ability to absorb essential vitamins like C, a crucial cofactor for iron absorption. This impairment, along with other factors, highlights the complex answer to whether nicotine impacts iron levels and overall iron homeostasis in the body.
