      Also weird that this isn’t an article. It’s not news or an academic study. Only a link to a web page from the Australian government saying “smoking is bad”. It doesn’t even clarify that they are talking about tobacco, unless you look at the directory and see this is under “tobaccofacts”.

      Also to be clear I agree with the message, but I also agree with you that this is an odd post.

    Wow, 30-50% is actually quite low if you think ahout it.

    If say 10 in 1000 people have erection problems, thats 13-15 in 1000 smokers. Not much of a difference. Obviously depends on the percentage in non-smokers though which I have no idea about.

    If I would enjoy smoking tobacco, this would not make me consider stopping.

    smokers […] suffer from erection problems that men who don’t smoke

    We don’t all smoke a smoker’s erection problems, despite the 54% English in the headline claiming we do.
