Are you smoker? Then it’s better you quit it soon. Research studies show that smoking increases risk of impotence by 50% in case of men in 30s and 40s. It also decreases the chances of conceiving in case of women.
Blood flows into the penile arteries during an erection, and causes the veins that drain the penis to become compressed. This prevents the blood from leaving the penis. Smoking also causes fatty deposits in the arteries and blocks the route in which blood flows into the penis.
Nicotine stimulation in the brain causes contraction of the penile tissue and restricted blood flow to the penis. Nicotine in the blood stream also impairs the valve mechanism that traps blood in the penis. Other male sexual dysfunctions that smoking can cause are: lower sperm count, abnormal sperm shape and impaired sperm mobility.
Smoking also affects male fertility by reducing the quality of semen. Smokers have a lower sperm count compared to non-smokers, and also their semen will have more quantity of malformed sperm.
Chromosomal abnormality caused by tobacco smoking: By-products of nicotine are found to reduce the motility of sperm. One study also claims that sperm damaged by smoking can cause the birth of baby girls than boys. The reason is that the toxins in cigarette smoke badly affect the sperm cells carrying the Y chromosome.
Smoking also has lot of negative effects on women. Women smokers take longer to conceive. Research studies show that, the chances of conceiving come down by 10—40 % per cycle in case of women smokers. More the number of cigarettes a woman smokes the longer she takes to achieve pregnancy.
So, start quitting smoking for a healthy and happy sex life.

Nicotine stimulation in the brain causes contraction of the penile tissue and restricted blood flow to the penis.
once quitting smoking is there any medicine or foods that you can ingest to reverse the effect smoking had, or will the tissue expand naturally once the blood flow becomes unobstructed??
