Smoking up to 20 cigarettes a day correlated with a 24% increase in impotence. Data can be explained by nicotine and other related chemicals diminishing blood flow to the penis and blood pressure in it. However here is the good finding: moderate alcohol consumption significantly reduced the risk of impotence.
