How much does smoking affect libido/sexual performance?I've heard cigarettes are a real libido killer. But obviously, plenty of people who smoke are having plenty of sex.
Can someone explain this? I smoke 10-15 cigarettes a day. What would I notice in that area if I quit or drastically cut down?
*I realize quitting smoking would be a huge health benefit in many ways, and am working toward it. I'm not demanding justification for quitting smoking, just curious how much it really affects libido.

As far as I know, it has the opposite effect, since it's a stimulant and increases testosterone levels. My own experience as a former smoker would seem to support that -- my libido went down rather than up when I quit. But over many years, smoking can contribute to impotence by damaging the circulatory system.
