Does smoking only harm the lungs? It also harms men's vital organs

We all know the dangers of smoking, but do you know what harms smoking has on men?

Smoking damages the blood vessels of the penis, inhibiting blood flow, thus affecting the substance that controls the erection of the sexual organ - steroids, causing the man's erect penis to become shorter.

Smoking can make men bald

Smoking can cause male spermatogonial stem cell mutation

Canadian research has found that smoking damages male spermatogonia, affecting the quantity and quality of sperm. Genes that mutate due to damage will also be passed on to future generations.

Smoking shortens men's lifespan

Nicotine can act on the vagus nerve system, disrupt normal gastrointestinal activity, cause gastric mucosal vasoconstriction, and reduce prostaglandin synthesis, thereby causing damage to the gastric mucosa.

Smoking can seriously affect male sexual function

A report released by the British Medical Association shows that about 120,000 men aged 30 to 50 are impotent due to smoking. This is mainly because toxins such as carbon monoxide damage the circulatory system and affect blood circulation in the penis.
