Well, as if smoking wasn’t already plenty bad for your health, more studies are showing the long-term ill effects of smoking cigarettes. It’s been known for some time now that cigarette smoking hardens blood vessels, making them more brittle and prone to damage. To a point, the damage is irreversible.
Despite these health risks, it seems that people continue to pick up this nasty habit. It is expensive and provides absolutely no health benefits, there is no rational reason to smoke cigarettes. I guess it fits into the category of people who wear sunglasses indoors 
Today’s Sunday Sex Sizzler brings home the point a little harder . . . or not 
Smoking Damages Penile Blood Vessels
The shaft of the penis contains three sponge-like chambers that can fill with blood and cause an erection. Blood is pumped into the penis under great pressure, which causes an erection. Valves in the penis prevent blood from leaving the penis and maintain the erection. Damage to the blood vessels in the penis can interfere with this process and make erections difficult or impossible. Finnish researchers- in a ten year study- found that smoking damages penile blood vessels and increases the incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED). Men over 50 who smoked and developed blood vessel disease were 50 percent more likely to develop ED during the study. Smokers who didn’t develop blood vessel problems were less likely to have erection problems. ED may be a symptom of serious heart disease and should be followed up with a thorough medical exam.

The amount of male ass (wayyy too much) in that picture almost makes this post NSFW!
Well, since you’re unemployed now I guess there’s no problem
That will soon change once Costco accepts my job application! Looking forward to receiving those tshirts!
Indeed, the photo has a lot more naked male flesh than I would like to see
OMG, that would be a little problem.
haha and that’s why I will never smoke
Ah.. that is a little bit nasty.

My bad… I should have said something about that. It’s one of the guys from Jackass on MTV. Pretty gross really!
In the future, though, we may have implants..never mind..
Wow, really have to stop smoking now, hope my GF doensn’t read this article
I never had erection problems, but I recently quit smoking and my life is immeasurably better.
