If smoking once made attractive, with a glamorous smokers cinema image, it becomes less and less true as the image of tobacco becomes negative. Smokers suffer from bad breath, yellow teeth, shortness of breath. When we know more than in love, they are far from the maximum of their abilities, we look at the cigarette as a suspicious eye.
Smokers are less love
Young couples (24-36 years) healthy and wanting a child should give heart to joy in terms of physical love. And it is a reality because on average, they make love 12 times per month. Really 12 times per month? Yes, except smokers. Couples where the man smokes more than 30 cigarettes per day make love only 6 times per month, or a frequency two times less!
Smokers experience less sexual pleasure
In the same survey, the degree of sexual satisfaction was explored. In non-smoking, sexual satisfaction is 9 out of 10 whereas in smokers, it drops to 5 out of 10!
Smokers are therefore twice as love so twice less satisfactory!
Penis erection smokers is smaller!
Elasticity is a valuable quality male. It is due to a protein that bears his name: elastin. However, in smokers, erections are lower due to carbon monoxide as a gas which narrows the arteries from the first puff. Erections are less stimulating less for oxygenating the tissue. Due to the chronic lack of oxygen in the penile arteries, the proportion of elastin decreases. The penis will therefore not be able to gradually develop its erectile potential. The erection persists, but to reach its maximum size. It is a bit like a worn elastic which would not have the same mechanical properties.
Arguments that fear!
These elements are strangely little known. What for? Is that they are afraid and they care. Scare smokers? Not at all. They fear those who earn money through tobacco ... Imagine a young man out of his pocket a pack of cigarettes that he hopes to conquer. If this package can read: "Smoking makes the penis smaller" or "Smoking reduces sexual pleasure," it is possible that she wanted to run away rather than be seduced ... So, some do everything to suppress this information or discredit! So you still want to smoke?

Previously, we stopped only by putting himself away from his friends and especially not smoking at the same time as her husband for fear of creating marital problems because of mood swings, irritability candidate at weaning.
