6. Smoking

Smoking damages blood vessels, which results in poor circulation and poor blood supply to all the organs in the body, including to the penis and to the heart. The chemicals from cigarette smoke line the blood vessels and impair their function. If the blood vessels in the penis are damaged, they cannot expand and fill with blood—which is necessary for an erection. Fortunately, if you quit smoking, your vascular health is likely to improve.
