In the modern world, it is quite difficult to find a man without bad habits. Even though a healthy lifestyle is a guarantee of health and longevity. One in three young people smokes. Almost all of them are sure that cigarettes are not that harmful. In addition to damaging the condition of the entire body, the male potential is also affected by attacks. Erectile dysfunction sooner or later occurs in all smokers. The harmful effects of smoking on the potential are undeniable.
Harmful composition of cigarettes
Many smokers are accustomed to the fact that only nicotine is the most harmful in cigarettes. All other substances, smoke, have no effect on the body. I would like to understand this question in more detail. Every single component that is part of a cigarette damages a man’s body, his strength. And nicotine is just a harmless substance compared to other ingredients.
All toxic chemicals, together with smoke, are transformed into volatile elements, which are deposited not only in the lungs of smokers but also in those around them. That is why it is said that passive smokers suffer on an equal footing with everyone. Scientists have found that a cigarette contains up to 5, 000 such toxic elements. Most of them lead to the destruction of many organs and systems.
Many smokers believe that the filter on a cigarette is a barrier to chemicals entering the body. It is worth dispelling this myth. The filter retains only 30-40% of all harmful substances. In addition, when the smoke is inhaled, the body suffers no less. So many cigarettes contain the following ingredients:
- Cadmium;
- Hydrocyanic acid;
- Leads;
- Benzene;
- Arsenic;
- acetaldehyde;
- Methane;
- nitrobenzene;
- Phenol;
- Radioactive materials;
- Carbon monoxide;
- Formaldehyde.
What we inhale when we smoke is nicotine. It is a kind of soft drug. With a small dose, one feels agitation, a surge of energy, an uplifting, mild dizziness. This effect disappears pretty quickly. This will encourage you to reach for your cigarette again and again. Just 3 weeks of regular smoking is enough to make you addicted to this addiction. The dose of nicotine should be increased. It has detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system, potency, hormones and the nervous system.
Cadmium is a heavy metal that is deposited and accumulated in the kidneys. Renal poisoning occurs. It also leads to excessive fragility of the bones, washing out calcium from them. Lead is a particularly dangerous metal. It accumulates in all systems of the body. It penetrates deep into tissues and cells. Spread with blood absolutely everywhere.
Methane is a toxic gas. It often causes dizziness, nausea and vomiting. If you consume a small amount of methane with a cigarette, the side effects will be almost imperceptible. But the element has a cumulative property. Phenol irritates the mucous membranes. It is used to diagnose throat, trachea and esophageal cancers in experienced smokers. These are not all harmful ingredients in cigarettes that kill the human body. Therefore, before reaching for a cigarette, you need to think several times about the dire consequences.

There are a large number of so-called "light" cigarettes today. It is worth noting that the composition of such cigarettes is the same as that of conventional cigarettes. Therefore, they cannot save it from disease. The only difference is in the amount of harmful chemical ingredients. There are slightly fewer of them in a thin cigarette. But the full spectrum of poisons is presented. So the harmful effects of cigarettes on male potency and the body as a whole are only a matter of time.
Cigarette and male potency
Does smoking affect potency? We can safely say yes. And not in the best way. Nicotine enters the blood vessels very quickly, allowing it to spread throughout the body. The substance also enters the bloodstream of the urogenital system. So, as a result of the cigarette, the activity of the sperm decreases immediately. And in general, the number of people living is declining sharply. Potency problems already occur at the level of spermatogenesis. A cigarette can completely change the structure of the sperm in the womb.
It has long been proven that sperm activity in smokers is many times that of a healthy person. Therefore, the first condition in the treatment of such a pathology is that a man be completely denied a cigarette. It has been found that the more a young man inhales during the day, the lower his ability will be. Erectile dysfunction begins to develop very quickly. Smoking one box of cigarettes a day increases your chances of total impotence by 65%.

Nicotine, which is found in all cigarettes, has detrimental effects on the adrenal glands. They contribute to the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline is needed to increase blood pressure and heart rate. With a low dose of adrenaline, blood circulation does not increase. Blood flow to the penis is simply impossible. An erection will be too weak or will not occur at all. Therefore, cigarettes lead to several potency problems.
The effect of smoking on the potential is also explained by the presence of carbon dioxide in the composition of the cigarette. It affects the walls of blood vessels, causing potential problems. With prolonged smoking, the body is deficient in oxygen. Genital oxygen depletion develops. The blood vessels become thinner, leading to their rapid occlusion. The flow of blood into the cavernous body of the penis simply becomes impossible. Potency deteriorates sharply in the form of loss of erection due to stimulation.
Smoking leads to a decrease in the production of sex hormones. In men, low testosterone levels are a major cause of poor potency. In general, there are the following potential problems with smoking:
- Male infertility;
- Poor erection;
- Lack of erection;
- Poor circulation in the pool area;
- Decreased sexual desire.
Several studies have been conducted that have shown the effect of cigarettes on potency. So, if both partners smoke, the number of sexual acts is significantly less than in a non-smoking family. In addition, the enjoyment of intercourse during smoking is significantly reduced. The orgasm ceases to be bright, sometimes it doesn’t come at all.
Increasing potency is only possible if smoking is stopped completely. But it is worth noting that there will be no immediate result. Long-term use of cigarettes has already caused irreparable damage not only to potency but to all organs in the male body. Even six months after you stop smoking a cigarette, you may notice positive changes in your potency. Of course, a man not only has to say goodbye to a bad habit, he has to completely change his lifestyle. Eating healthy and exercising speeds up the process of restoring potency. Those skilled in the art will often prescribe additional medications to improve erectile function.
