It has been explained in our earlier article how vata affects erection in men. (http://www.ayurhelp.com/articles/ED_vata.htm) . We all know that erection occurs when blood rushes to penis. Every erection problem starts when this blood flow is affected. Vyana Vayu and samana vayu (types of vayu - http://www.ayurhelp.com/2009/11/types-of-vayu.html) help in blood circulation. When smoke is inhaled through smoking the carbon monoxide fumes bind with hemoglobin in blood and reduce its capacity to carry oxygen . Thus carbon monoxide clogs the path of vayu in delivering the oxygen to cells. The carbon particles damage heart valves and reduce its capacity to pump blood. The vyana vayu which is situated in heart gets vitiated and blood circulation gets impaired. Smoking also leads to atherosclerosis or hardening of arteries. Hardening also occurs in arteries of penis. This blocks the blood flow and movement of vayu. This leads to erectile dysfunction. Vitiated vayu leads to premature ejaculation.

Reduced oxygen supply impairs production of sperms leading to low sperm count, increased number of dead sperms and loss of libido. The condition worsens when a smoker is diabetic or has heart problems.
