Tulane study on smoking examines additional side effect

Just in case the heightened risk of developing emphysema, lung cancer, throat cancer, and a host of other maladies weren't strong enough reasons for guys to stop smoking, maybe these two little (make that, very little) letters will: E.D.

A study out of Tulane University revealed that smoking may cause men to experience Erectile Dysfunction. Using survey data, researchers found that respondents who smoked (and also did not have any history of heart disease -- which itself is a separate risk factor for E.D.) were 41 percent more likely to develop E.D. than were nonsmokers.

Because smoking causes plaque to build up in the arteries, blood flow to the penis -- just like other parts of the body -- is restricted. Something to think about the next time you light up.
