00:00Hello there, welcome to another episode of Putting Dr. G on the Spot.

00:05Remember, in the month of January, we're thinking about various forms of New Year resolution

00:10in order to improve your sexual and reproductive health.

00:14What is more important than cutting down on smoking?

00:25So smoking is well known to cause cancer, especially lung cancer and bladder cancer.

00:30However, smoking also causes some significant adversity in your sexual and reproductive

00:36health.

00:37Let's dwell into the actual diagnosis itself that how smoking can cause erectile dysfunction.

00:45In fact, smoking itself is well known to cause something called atherosclerosis.

00:51This is when there's a hardening of the vessels.

00:54Initially, it might affect the vessels supplying the penis itself, and people who smoke are

01:00likely to have erectile dysfunction due to atherosclerosis.

01:05Apart from that, there are a lot more evidence to suggest that smoking can affect something

01:10called the nitric oxide system.

01:13The nitric oxide is crucial for vasodilation, so smoking will block the nitric oxide cycle

01:20and reduce the dilations of the blood vessels as well.

01:24So double whammy.

01:26Increased smoking frequency also will have a reduction on somebody's libido because that

01:34will have an impact on the blood supply and vasculature to the testicle, and that will

01:40affect the production of testosterone.

01:43Clearly, another cell which is very sensitive to smoking is the sperm quality.

01:49So we know men who smoke at least two to five cigarettes a day will have significant

01:57reduction on sperm volume, sperm quality such as the number, the morphology, and the motility.

02:05So with that in mind, smoking causes triple whammy in your sex and reproductive health.

02:10You know cessation is crucial.

02:13So why don't you take the whole month of January to contemplate how to have a New Year

02:19resolution to reduce smoking in the future, and then to carry on sustainably for the next

02:2512 months of the year and making 2025 a very healthy non-smoking year, and we'll have a

02:33much better sexual and reproductive health.

02:36If you're interested in quitting smoking but thinking that vape or vaping might be helping

02:43you to reduce smoking and might have a positive impact on your sexual health, then you have

02:48to think twice because vaping itself is not really the lesser of two evils.

02:55Stay tuned for next week's Putting Dr. G on the Spot.
