Male smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to be impotent, and researchers say that the risk rises with the numbers of cigarettes smoked, it was reported on March 20 2006.

Findings from the Australian Study of Health and Relationships found that men who smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day were 40 percent more likely to be impotent than nonsmokers. The study looked at men ages 19-59.

Among those who smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day, the risk of impotence was 24 percent higher than among nonsmokers.
