Cigarette smoking is the root cause of a variety of life-threatening diseases, including lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and Erectile Dysfunction. Cigarette smoking approximately causes 430,000 deaths each year directly. Smoking is responsible for disorders in all parts of the body, including the digestive system, respiratory system and human impotence.
Current estimates indicate that about one-third of all adults smoke. And, while adult men seem to be smoking less, women and teenagers of both sexes seem to be smoking more.
Harmful Effects of Smoking
Smoking has harmful effects on health. It affects all parts of the digestive system, causing common disorders such as heartburn, heart attack and peptic ulcers. Smoking also increases the risk of Crohn's disease and possibly gallstones. Smoking also seems to have adverse affect on liver too, it changes the way it handles drugs and alcohol.
Smoking also contributes to impotence by reducing the flow of blood needed for an erection. According to British Medical Association (BMA) up to 120,000 UK men in their 30s and 40s are impotent as a direct consequence of smoking. This figure is likely to be an underestimate, because it does not include impotence due to previous smoking in men who no longer smoke. Apart from impotence other effects of smoking on male sexual health includes:
Reduction in volume of ejaculation
Reduction in sperm count
Abnormal sperm shape
How smoking affects
When you smoke tobacco, hydrocarbons are inhaled damage the lining of arteries and start forming plaques in their inner linings thus reducing blood flow. Nicotine constricts arteries to make them even narrower. When your arteries leading to your heart are completely blocked, you suffer a heart attack. When the arteries leading to a man's penis are blocked, he is impotent. This process is significantly impaired by smoking.
Prospects of recovery:
Smoking is a major and avoidable threat for sexual health. If main causes of erectile function are acute responses to nicotine, then immediate improvements on stopping smoking are possible.
How to Quit Smoking
It may be bit hard to quit smoking. It is hard because nicotine is a very addictive drug. Before you quit smoking, try the following:
Cut out a few of your favorite cigarettes during the day.
For 3 to 5 days, use a notebook to keep track of when you smoke each cigarette.
Prepare Mentally
Learn new skills and behaviors and substitute habits like chewing gum, drinking fruit juice
Get medication and use it correctly i.e. Ask your doctor about using some form of nicotine replacement therapy.
