SMOKING
CAN SHRINK THE PENIS
The after-sex cigarette may be a thing of the past if the results
of a study undertaken at Boston University are proven. Dr Pedram
Salimpour suggests that smoking may lead to a decrease in penis
size.
In the same way that smoking has been shown to damage the ability
of the blood vessels in the lungs and heart to retain elasticity,
Dr Salimpour reckons that the vessels of the penis may be equally
affected. The blood vessels of the penis are much smaller than
those of the heart so constriction in this area may have relatively
more severe consequences. Although whether the embarrassment of
impotence is more severe than certain death, we at altPENIS are
not qualified to judge.
Clive Bates, director of ASH (Action on Smoking
and Health) says: "The
advantage of the penis from the communications point of view is
that it is easy to imagine it shrivelled up and shrunken whereas
damage to other vital organs such as the heart is much less obvious
or easy to visualise." - Of course the penis has the additional
significant communication disadvantage of not being able to speak.
