Impotence, or penile erectile dysfunction, is the repeated inability to have or maintain an erection. The condition affects roughly 1 in 10 men between the ages of 21 and 75 - that's about two million men in the UK alone. In up to 75% of cases, the cause is physical.
Smoking increases the risk of erectile dysfunction by around 50% for men in their 30s and 40s. Diabetes, high cholesterol levels and drugs used to treat high blood pressure are also important risk factors.
