And as for the specific problem of erectile dysfunction, it works in quite the same way.  

#1 Lower Oxygen Levels  

The cigarettes you smoke are choking you. 

When you are inhaling the smoke, then that is going down through your wind pipe. It’s definitely inflicting damage as moves deeper into your body.  

But the bulk of the damage it does is to the lungs where it ends up. This smoke has more than 7,000 chemicals that are all industrial grade. As in they’re supposed to be in factories, rather than in your body.  

There are solid particles in the smoke which accumulate in the small air sacks in your lungs. That’s what we call tar, and the ability of your lungs to absorb oxygen diminishes significantly.  

The situation keeps getting worse the more cigarettes you keep smoking.  

Blood oxygen levels go lower and lower and that’s how the penis fails to get proper supply of oxygen-rich blood.  

Of course, your overall, cardio vascular health is going to worse, causing bad sexual performance. But you’re going to have erectile dysfunction on top of that.  

#2 Problems with the Endocrine System  

Cigarette smoking affects your endocrine system in many more ways than you might think it does.  

Some of these ways are direct and obvious. Like when you consider the number of chemicals that come into your body as you’re smoking. They will be in your blood stream interacting with all the organs and glands.  

Thus, directly affecting the hormone production that happens through those organ systems.  

But a more subtle way in which this affects is by making you too tired to do anything good for yourself. You won’t be able to get the exercise you need to maintain good health.  

That will decrease hormone and testosterone levels, and erectile dysfunction is just a natural outcome of this. Worse yet, lower testosterone will cause you to be depressed thus aggravating the erectile dysfunction problem.  

#3 Weaker Heart  

The most basic reason behind erectile dysfunction is the condition of your heart. And smoking increases that chances of heart diseases manifold.  

Our hearts are pretty powerful as an organ, and for it to do what it does. It needs a constant supply of blood with good concentration of oxygen. But if you smoke, then that will be really difficult.  

That is how the heart keeps getting weaker and weaker as it’s not getting the proper nutrition it needs.  

You can get a heart attack from this. But on the way to that the erectile dysfunction problem will be a signal.  

And all of that is interconnected in a really complex way.  

So as soon as you get any indication of that, you should take the first step right away. That will be the best course of action that you might want to take.
