It has been proved by plentiful scientific researches and clinical practices that smoking is bad for our health. Do you know it also affect the sexual function? According to reports, smoking even has some effect to males' ability to have children.
It is known that the main toxic element in smokes is nicotine that can stimulate the whole nervous system. At the same time, nicotine has the effect to reduce hormone secretion and kill sperms. When people smoke, it makes the nervous system stimulation first and the following is restraining, which benumb the nervous system at last. Because of it, the central nervous also can be restrained and then the transmission of sexual arousal is affected that leads to impotence finally.
But why can smoking affect the ability of sperms? The growth of sperms includes sharp Proliferation, differentiation and maturity, in which process DNA needs to combine with protein. However, smoking makes the obvious effect on sperms' differentiation and maturity. If a man has 30 smokes a day, the survival rate of sperms is just 40% as the aberration rate of sperms is increasing too. Besides, it is reported that in the same condition of sperm concentration, comparing 41 smokers to 41 nonsmokers, researchers show the result that the number of smokers' abnormal sperms is more than the one of nonsmokers. Then there is another comparison of the number of smokes, which shows that men who smoke more than 20 pieces have more abnormal sperms than the ones who smoke less than 20 pieces. After all, the more men smoke, the more the number of abnormal sperms are and the weaker the ability of sperms is.
When facing the sperms problems caused by smoking, males need to be cured if they want to be fathers. The first thing they need to do is to give up smoking.
