Whether you're a man, a woman, a light smoker or a heavy smoker, smoking can interfere with your intimacy. Smoking weakens and damages arteries and blood vessels in general. For some people, the implications can even become disabling for sexuality. Constant impotence and dry intimacy can also be harbingers of future cardiovascular disease. Loss of libido is also a very common factor among smokers. How can nicotine pouches help solve the problems of smoking and sexuality?
Cigarettes: when your sex life goes up in smoke
Among the best-known effects of smoking are cancer and cardiovascular disease. But sexual difficulties are also among them. Cardiovascular dysfunction is the cause. Nicotine, carbon monoxide and free radicals are absorbed when cigarettes are burned. These molecules disrupt vasoconstriction. In other words, blood vessels contract, preventing optimal blood circulation.
Smoking and sexuality: what impact on women?
For women, smoking and sexuality go hand in hand with intimate dryness and contraceptive difficulties.
During sexual arousal, blood flow increases to allow transudation through the vaginal walls. Since smoking has damaged the blood network, the flow is disrupted. Without fluids flowing properly through these blood vessels, vaginal lubrication is reduced. This is a subject you should discuss with your doctor, to help you find solutions until you're back on track after quitting smoking.
Combining contraception with addiction
What's more, women taking hormonal contraception run a greater risk of unwanted side effects. That's why your doctor or midwife will find out if you smoke.
Doctors advise against the use of estrogen-progestin contraceptives in smokers (combined pill, patch, vaginal ring, etc.). The combination of these contraceptives and heavy smoking exposes you to the risk of blood clots and the ensuing problems.
Does smoking make you impotent?
Hard, hard times for desire when you're a smoker. Many men don't immediately think that smoking and impotence are unfortunately good friends. As with women, it's also a question of vasoconstriction of the vessels in the intimate area. With reduced blood flow, it's not uncommon for some men to struggle to achieve and maintain an erection. Studies have shown that smoking increases erectile dysfunction by 51% in smokers and 29% in ex-smokers. Even if the risk is present, smoking and impotence do not systematically coincide, and some smokers do not suffer from them.
How to use pouches to rediscover your sexuality?
Remember, it's the substances absorbed during smoking that have these effects on the body. Blood vessels become damaged, narrowed and rigid. This is the breeding ground for complications of your cardiovascular system, which makes it impossible to combine smoking and sexuality without risk. The solution is obvious: stop smoking. Of course, addiction doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye. The use of nicotine pouches should replace your cigarettes, with the aim of eventually giving them up too. The pouches nicotine tablets will eliminate the toxic input of carbon monoxide and free radicals. Complete weaning should then free you from nicotine. Once fully weaned, your blood vessels will gradually return to their original shape. This reduces the risk of sexual problems. After a few weeks of stopping smoking, it's also common to notice an increase in libido.
