Obviously I know smoking is bad for your health! But does it actually hinder workout results, weightloss, definition etc?

yes, as it restricts oxygen which makes your body not metabolize fat as well.

that is at least one physiological reason, plus I'd guess you wouldn't be able to push yourself as hard thus your workouts would be less effective.

Most of the hardcore muscle guys I know smoke herb though, since they have to eat so much it makes them hungary.

nicotine constricts your blood vessels so I've heard it hinders getting blood to muscles, how much depends on when/how much you smoke I guess
