Just Kick The Habit

Is it really worth smoking?

It is a documented medical fact that men who smoke are far more likely to become impotent than men who do not. This really should bear some thinking about; is it really worth smoking when it could put you in a much higher risk bracket for erectile dysfunction as well as a whole litany of other illnesses and diseases which in turn could also impinge on your quality of life and your erectile function.

Researchers in the United Kingdom when they were asked to come up with health warnings on cigarette packets and advertising regarding smoking chose to point out the fact that erectile dysfunction could occur with heavy smoking over other health warnings which might have been deemed to be more relevant. Men are far more likely to be scared of a health warning that says they might get erectile dysfunction than they are to worry about a health warning that says they may suffer from heart disease. Even though heart disease is a more serious health condition then erectile dysfunction men nevertheless worry about the latter rather than the former.

One of our team in the Ukmedix Newsroom who was a hardened [no pun intended] smoker for fifteen years recently quit the habit and claims that one of the first benefits of giving up was a much improved erectile function. He now claims to have erections every morning when he wakes up something that had not happened to him regularly since his teenage years.

A big research project that was done in Australia involving thousands of men reported that men who had smoked for many years had better erectile function even a few weeks after they quit smoking and that a over a long period their erectile function could greatly improve. Smoking clogs the arteries which form an essential link in the process of getting an erection.

The vast majority of erectile dysfunction in men is caused not to by a lack of testosterone, not by any hormonal or psychological problems but by a simple lack of blood flow through the penile artery. The trio of erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra work by expanding the penile artery in order to facilitate better blood flow.
