Studies have shown that men who smoke have twice the risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Such impotence could be an early predictor of cardiovascular disease or heart attack later in life.
It affects the fun time in the bedroom
Smokers are also found to have erections that are less freequent, poorer in quality and shorter in duration than those of non-smokers.
