Whether there has been a small tiff with the girlfriend, an argument at work or a slight chill in the weather, there are still many of us that deal with life’s hardships by lighting up. As much as we know what the quietly fuming roll of tobacco can do to our health, we conveniently choose to ignore all of the unwanted information and smoke away to glory, hoping to beat the odds. Most of us feign ignorance about what smoking does to our health until one day, the symptoms begin surfacing. You may even find that you start buying Viagra medications as a result of your smoking before you decide to go for anti-smoking treatments.

Whilst most of us are at least aware of what smoking can do to our lungs, many are unaware that these puffs of smoke are potent enough to dampen the fire in our sex lives. The tar and the residues from the inhaled cigarette smoke tend to get deposited as plaques in the arteries, reducing the blood flow to the various parts of the body. It is the reduction in the blood flow to the penis that leads to the dreaded ED (Erectile Dysfunction), or impotence; and ultimately a trip to the shops to buy Viagra.

So if you are in the habit of sneaking away for a ‘puff’ every other hour, it is time you held the urge, for it has been found that the chances of ED is 60% higher in men who smoke over 20 cigarettes a day to ones who do not smoke at all. Although impotence can now be treated with ED drugs like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra, we all know that preventing it at the root is always better than having to go for cure later. However if you do see any signs of impending ED, do not hesitate to contact us here at Menscare.
