Smoking can not only precipitate heart attack, paralysis and increase blood pressure but can also increase the risk of erectile dysfunction in men. Men who smoke 20 cigarettes a day are 40 percent more likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction than men who do not smoke, said Dr. KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India.
Nicotine present in smoke can constrict the blood supply to various organs. As per a study published in the journal Tobacco Control, in men aged 16-59 years, the risk of erectile dysfunction is almost double in smokers than in non smokers. Apart from smoking, obesity, heavy alcohol consumption and misuse of Viagra like drugs can also disturb men's sexual health. Uncontrolled diabetes, blood pressure, which is common in winter season also add to the same. Depression is also common in winter adding to the agony. For those who want to quit smoking winter is the best time to do so.
