A British urologist confirmed this week what many men who smoke tobacco (and their partners) have long suspected: smoking can make your penis shorter.
As The Mirror reports, Dr. Marc Laniado said he sees plenty of erectile dysfunction in his patients. And the problem is considerably worse in tobacco smokers, he says.
The problem, says Dr. Laniado, is blood flow. The penis is an organ that relies on blood to properly do its job, and the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to reduce blood flow. That’s a problem for men who smoke.
“To have a firm erection, you need sufficient blood flow. Smokers have a higher incidence of artherosclerosis in all blood vessels, including those in the penis, which can reduce blood flow. The chemicals in smoke may also have an effect on firmness; nicotine causes blood vessels to become narrow.”
