| | In a study of men ages 24 to 36 seeking treatment for infertility, Panayiotis Zavos, |
| | Ph.D., "confirmed the results of earlier studies demonstrating that smoking harms |
| | sperm quality in every way, from longevity to motility. But Zavos also found that |
| | smoking affected sexual behavior. The smokers had sex an average of 5.7 times per |
| | month, while the nonsmokers reported an average of 11.6 encounters. And on a scale |
| | of 1 to 10, the smokers rated the quality of sex at a lackluster 5.2, compared to 8.7 for |
| | nonsmokers." |

| | The government of Canada has proposed that cigarette packs carry photographs of |
| | diseased hearts and cancerous lips and lungs. Another warning would attempt to |
| | dispel the perception that smoking has sex appeal: "cigarettes may cause sexual |
| | impotence due to decreased blood flow to the penis. This can prevent you from having |
| | an erection." |
