I'm A 21 Year-old Male And I’ve Been Experiencing Hand

I'm a 21 year-old male and I’ve been experiencing hand tremors for a while now. My hands shake slightly when I try to hold something steady—like when I'm eating with a spoon or trying to keep my hand still. It’s not extreme, but noticeable and a bit worrying.

For context:

I used to masturbate quite frequently, but I’ve reduced it a lot now.
I also had a habit of smoking and drinking, but have cut down on both significantly in recent months.

I’m wondering if any of these past habits—especially frequent masturbation, smoking, or alcohol—could be causing this issue, or if it’s likely due to something else entirely (like a neurological or nutritional issue?).
