Erection Problems Blog

Do you remember scenes from the movies when partners after sex are lying in the bed, chatting and… smoking? Definitely you can remember at least one such episode. But what can modern medicine say about combinations of cigarette and sex? Or better say ”smoking and sexual potency”? And an answer is quite predictable:

Smoking Can Lead to Erectile Dysfunction

Men who smoke cigarettes run an increased risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction, and the more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk. Both smoking and erectile dysfunction have often been associated individually with plaque build-up in the arteries, called atherosclerosis. The plaque obstructs blood flow through vessels, causing a host of circulatory problems throughout the body, such as erectile dysfunction. The association between smoking and erectile dysfunction is even stronger for men with diabetes.

It is not about you?

Smoking is a main health problem worldwide, and its effect on sexual life is an often-used fact in anti-smoking campaigns. Yes, you can say that your wife (girlfriend) is fully satisfied with you in the bed. Today. But what can be tomorrow with you health?

Want some statistics?

• - Men who smoked more than 20 cigarettes daily had a 60% higher risk of erectile dysfunction, compared to men who never smoked.
• - 15% of the past and present smokers had experienced erectile dysfunction.
• - Men who currently and formerly smoked were about 30% more likely to suffer from impotence.

It’s yet another reason for smokers to kick the habit.
