Just today I saw my aunt. Her husband, my uncle, is a life-long smoker; when asked to quit his reply was always "I'll never quit". For the last several months he has been undergoing chemotherapy to battle his stage 4 lung cancer. He is in terrible shape; I'm afraid he's losing the battle. He's barely over 60 in age.
Of coures he is not having sex and most likely he will never have sex. So yes, giving up smoking can improve your sex life.
I'm just wondering if, in the weeks and months after giving up the habit, you noticed any change in your performance (lasted longer, better erections, higher libido). I know that in Europe, the cig packages go so far as to say "Smoking causes impotence." Aside from hopefully living a longer life, I really don't need a better excuse to give up the habit, know what I mean? Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence that giving up smoking can improve your sex life?

Dear amolatinas,
Smoking impedes blood flow and reduces the amount of nitric oxide your penis needs to get hard. Of course, in Europe, they're trying to kill the big bad elephant with a shaming little stick. Smoking does not "cause impotence," but there's probably some correlation in some study that implicates smoking in terms of going at it.
I believe quitting smoking will improve your endurance factor, whether running up a hill or banging away a little longer. As for specifics, it's extremely individual.
Are you smoking? If so, quit. Not for the potency, but for life. Can't preach that gospel enough.
Puff out,
the Love Goddess
