Smokers have higher risk of erectile dysfunction

Yet another good reason to quit smoking for real this time: men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day have 60% more chance of having erectile dysfunction than non smokers. A study done by the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans among 5000 Chinese men showed that, after excluding other risk factors (like high blood pressure age and diabetes), that the risk of having erectile dysfunction is 31% higher for smokers and ex-smokers than non smokers. The risk is 35% when 11 till 20 cigarettes are smoked per day and till 60% in men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day.
