Smoking and Impotence - real Kill

Almost everyone know what impotence is, to describe it clearly it is the inability of a man to to have a stiffness on his thing or erection for sexual purposes. Now that is scary! The most scariest of this is that i've read that Impotence or erectile dysfunction is more twice likely to be more affected on smokers compared to non-smokers. what the ****!

Here are the facts I gathered:

Sexual functioning requires the coordination of several functions in the body. This includes the nervous system (mental stimulation)working in coordination with hormones, and the vascular system which pumps blood into the muscle tissue that maintains the erection.Smoking can affect all these systems, thereby, causing impotence.

Many diseases caused by smoking involve blockage of the arteries,meaning that smoking inhibits the flow of blood throughout thebody. Strokes and heart attacks are one result of severe blood flow blockage. Impotence is another result of arterial blockage.

Long-term smoking causes more physiological damage. In a United States study, healthy men who smoked,with no history of impotence, heart disease or diabetes, were interviewed twice over 8 years. The second interview revealed that although these men still had no heart disease or diabetes,they were twice as likely to experience moderate or severe impotence.

A secondary study indicated that smoking is an independent risk factor contributing to impotence.After considering other risk factors, it was found that current smokers were twice as likely to experience impotence as non-smokers.
Another independent study grouped impotent smokers,according to how many cigarettes they smoked each day.
The study concluded:
heavy smokers (40+ cigarettes/day) had the "softest" night-time erections;
smoking was related to an abnormal decline of blood pressure in the penis.


In case you have some impotency problem due to cigarette smoking, the onli way to cure this if the degree of damages is not yet worst is by simply quitting cigarette smoking. How simple is that! We know its not but let's make sure we are preparing for it, or suffer its consequences.
