Smoking = 'limp noodle' in the sack

New research shows that smoking increases the risk of impotence/erectile dysfunction.

"Men who smoke are up to 40 percent more likely to suffer from impotence than those who don't," said Dr Christopher Millett, of Imperial College London, who worked on the research.

He added that the more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk of suffering from a sexual performance problem. But even men who smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day, had a 24 percent raised risk of impotence.

"It is not just older men who suffer from impotence, younger men are also affected as well," Millett added in an interview. The findings, reported on Thursday in the journal Tobacco Control, are based on a survey of 8,000 men in Australia aged between 16 and 59 who took part in a study of health and relationships.

Almost one in 10 reported an impotence/erectile dysfunction problem lasting more than a month during the previous year.

About a quarter were smokers and more than 6 percent said they got through over 20 cigarettes a day. Men who smoked more than a pack or more a day were 39 percent more likely to report sexual problems, according to the study.

Damn, if this isn’t a good reason for guys to stop smoking… I don’t know what is. Article here.

Due to the fact that most conventional medical and surgical impotence treatments cause side effects, many patients are looking towards the intake of natural products, that without no side effects of the chemical products, do are equally efficient. Studies and many medicine professionals worldwide point it out so. Levitra, because of its composition –that has been submitted to several analysis and tests- is considered one of the best natural ways to solve the problem of erectile dysfunction. http://www.levitrabliss.com/

First off all I would like to thank you for that great post. It's very interesting to read your posts. As I can see, a lot of people here knows much about ED treatment maybe they can help me. For a log time I can't decide what is better: to buy viagra, to buy cialis or levitra? I found this online pharmacy no prescription to buy all this things, so can somebody help me to make a decision?
