How to Avoid the Ill Effects of Smoking: Don't Even Start
Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the United States, yet many people continue to smoke. Shockingly, the average male smoker dies before age 62, well before the typical retirement age. The mortality rate for those smoking two or more packs a day is 12 to 25 times higher than nonsmokers. Smoking accounts for about 30% of all cancer deaths and is linked to 87% of lung cancer cases. It also contributes to cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, uterus, cervix, kidney, and bladder.
Smoking poses severe health risks, but many people still indulge in cigarettes to satisfy nicotine cravings. According to Lawrence Karsh, M.D., a Denver urologist, smoking is extremely harmful for young men. While its links to lung cancer and heart disease are well-known, smoking also damages blood vessels in the penis over time, leading to erectile dysfunction.
A recent study confirms that smoking significantly increases the risk of sexual impotence, a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Involving nearly 5,000 Chinese men aged 35 to 74 who were free of vascular disease and sexually active within the past six months, the research found a strong link between the number of cigarettes smoked and sexual impotence.
Researchers from Tulane University School of Public Health highlight that previous studies also associated smoking with sexual impotence, particularly in patients with hypertension, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. The study shows that smokers have a 41% higher risk of impotence compared to non-smokers. Moreover, there is a clear dose-response relationship: men smoking up to 10 cigarettes daily have a 27% higher risk, those smoking 11-20 cigarettes have a 45% higher risk, and those smoking more than 20 cigarettes face a 65% higher risk.
Alarmingly, the risk of sexual impotence remains almost the same for former smokers as for current ones. The research suggests that quitting smoking may not significantly lower the risk of erectile dysfunction once the damage is done.
To effectively prevent smoking, a compelling message for young men is essential, emphasizing the connection between smoking and sexual impotence. This problem can affect even healthy individuals. Ultimately, the clearest advice remains: don’t start smoking at all.
