   Please show him the following article showing where smoking can cause problems for a guy’s penis & reproductive system. That should wake him up big time. I stopped smoking using The Patch.

   What are my options?

   Definite DON’Ts

   Alcohol

   Alcohol kills reproductive cells and decreases sperm viability. It also disrupts the link between the brain and the penis. Excessive use of alcohol inhibits the creation of the male sex hormone, androgen.

   Smoking

   Nicotine reduces arterial pressure and as a result, prevents blood circulation to the penis. In addition, toxic substances from smoking are detrimental for sperm maturation.

   Marijuana

   Sharply reduces the level of male sexual hormones, disrupts chromosomes and promotes undesired genetic changes.

   Anabolic Steroids

   Anabolic steroids bear a close resemblance to testosterone and as a result, the body stops its natural production causing impotence to occur.

   High Cholesterol

   Too much cholesterol blocks the vessels providing blood to the penis and thereby reduces the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection.

   Overweight

   Being overweight can disrupt your hormone balance and, as a result, the production of hormones necessary for achieving erection can become insufficient.

   Chemical drugs

   Studies show that out of two hundred most used medicines; as many as sixteen are likely to cause impotence. Among the most risky are drugs used for the treatment of high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, ulcers, tumors, plus a couple of medications used to combat allergy.
