The burning cigarette can burn your sexual life too

"With a cigarette in my hand...I feel like an Impotent person", seems to be a joke, but their isn't anything funny about it. You always knew that cigarettes can cause a variety of life-threatening diseases like lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease. Well there's just one more to add. Impotence! Scientifically called erectile dysfunction and defined as the inability to achieve or sustain erection till the time being essential for sexual gratification.

Stats reveal shocking figures; around 430,000 deaths each year are directly caused by cigarette smoking. Smoking is responsible for changes in all parts of the body, including the digestive 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.

Smoking is a major and avoidable hazard for sexual health. Given that two of the three main side effects of smoking on erectile function are acute responses to nicotine, then immediate improvements on stopping smoking are possible. Smoking also reduces volume of ejaculate, it also leads to reduction in sperm count and causes abnormal sperm shape.

British Medical Association (BMA) estimates that 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.

Smoking has been shown to have harmful effects on all parts of the digestive system, contributing to such common disorders as heartburn and peptic ulcers. It also increases the risk of Crohn's disease and possibly gallstones. Smoking seems to affect the liver, too, by changing the way it handles drugs and alcohol. In fact, there seems to be enough evidence to stop smoking solely to protect the digestive system.
