Impotence is the constant inability of a man to maintain an erection for sexual purposes. It is estimated that impotence affects over 30 million men in the United States.
Sexual functioning requires the coordination of several functions in the body. This includes the nervous system (mental stimulation) working in coordination with hormones, and the vascular system which pumps blood into the muscle tissue that maintains the erection. Smoking can affect all these systems, thereby, causing impotence.2
Many diseases caused by smoking involve blockage of the arteries, meaning that smoking inhibits the flow of blood throughout the body. Strokes and heart attacks are one result of severe blood flow blockage. Impotence is another result of arterial blockage.
Long-term smoking causes more physiological damage. In a United States study2, healthy men who smoked, with no history of impotence, heart disease or diabetes, were interviewed twice over 8 years. The second interview revealed that although these men still had no heart disease or diabetes, they were twice as likely to experience moderate or severe impotence.4
A secondary study5 indicated that smoking is an independent risk factor contributing to impotence. After considering other risk factors, it was found that current smokers were twice as likely to experience impotence as non-smokers.
Another independent study3 grouped impotentsmokers, according to how many cigarettes they smoked each day. The study concluded:
heavy smokers (40+ cigarettes/day) had the "softest" night-time erections;
smoking was related to an abnormal decline of blood pressure in the penis.

Reason enough for me not to smoke... Besides that noone should really actively work on having BAD BREATH.
I don't drink either but that's more a principals-thing.

Just in case you were wondering, I don't smoke either. I did smoke about half a cigarette at a party at my house when I was like 18. My smoking friends essentially dared me to do it. I did it, didn't see the big deal, and they never bugged me again, nor did I ever smoke again. I find the smell repulsive at best. It usually gives me a headache and if it's bad enough my stomach cramps too. The first guy I kissed was a smoker and I can agree that it's like kissing an ash tray. Absolutely gross.
I'm the bawss.

Yeah, I don't really do anything like that. Now that I'm at college it seems like almost everyone drinks, lots of people smoke cigarettes, and a good number of people smoke marijuana or do other drugs like painkillers or heroine. I am, however, an adrenaline junkie, racing with the cycling team, flying airplanes, skateboarding, etc.

You know people who do heroin? That's pretty bad... coke is usually the worst drug I hear about at my university, not that it's much better, I suppose. Generally speaking, I feel addictive substances are a bad idea.

Never had a puff, nor do I intend to. If someone dared me to and there was a decent amount of money involved I would though.
