PREVENTABLE CAUSE.

Why?Nicotine in tobacco smoke narrows blood
vessels and this produces a weak erection of the
penis especially in younger men.

Long-term addiction can, however, cause permanent
damage to the arteries in the body including
those feeding blood to the penis and this results
in impotence, particularly among older men.

Studies have also shown that the spermatozoa of
smokers is lower in density and motility, or it
simply means having poor sperm quality.
