Getting young people and teens to quit
smoking is a tough enough. But here is
some ammo for young men who smoke.
Studies provide strong indirect evidence
that smoking may affect penile erection.
The study results were inferred from
data gathered from a retrospective chart
check from 860 male patients aged
between 18 and 44 visited during the
period January 1999 to December 2002.
Knowledge if this information may make young
men think twice about lighting up.
