A lot of people take up smoking during their youth thinking that it will help improve their ‘cool quotient’ and increase their sexual desirability. Immensely sexy characters on television like Mad Men’s Don Draper are often seen lighting up.

 

There was once a time when cigarette advertisements in television and newspapers propagated the ‘cancer stick’ as a symbol of prestige. Unfortunately, there is nothing good about cigarettes, and it can have severe impact on your health and wellbeing.

 

Your sex life isn’t spared either. Here are some ways in which smoking could affect your performance.
