Scientists 'shocked' by smoking danger to sexual health

SMOKING has a damaging effect on almost all aspects of sexual, reproductive and child health, doctors warned yesterday.

A report by the British Medical Association's Board of Science and Tobacco Control Resource Centre details some shocking statistics about the impact of smoking on factors other than the well-known cancer risk.

The study Smoking and Reproductive Life estimates about 120,000 men aged between 30 and 50 are impotent because of smoking.
