Smoking Kills the Sex Drive!
Smoking is known to the majority of the population as a habit! In fact a filthy habit due to the mess caused by butt ends and dirty smoke. It is also know as a mass killer due to the life threatening side effects. Smoking is continuously studied for its side effects. In a study by a Dr. Jiang He, he found a new side effect that can be added to the list, it is Erectile Dysfunction (Sorry Guys). It was found that smokers who were otherwise healthy showed signs of this trait.
Whilst this was found in a group of smoking men, the group also had a number of other complaints that could cause sexual impotence, such as hypertension, diabetes, depression and a few cardiovascular diseases. When first chosen the group appeared to be of good health and good physical condition.
The research confirmed that male smokers are more likely to suffer sexual impotence/erectile dysfunction than other equal non smokers. The research showed that the amount smoked on a daily bases caused a change in the percentage of suffers of this condition.
Now if a man smokes 10 cigarettes a day he will suffer a 27% increase in risk of this complaint. Whereas, if a man smokes between 11 and 20 a day, this risk jumps up to 40%. Now on looking at smokers who smoked more than 20 a day it was noted that the percentage rose with every cigarette smoked and the average number of people expected to have this problem throughout the sample group was 41%.
To finalize the study the research team estimated that 22.7% of cases or erectile dysfunction is caused by smoking. To make matters worse it was discovered that quitting smoking did not reverse the problem. So long term smokers are causing damage that can never be repaired.
