Is male impotence due to smoking ever reversible?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: It depends on how long you smoked. Smoking destroys the small blood vessels that open up to get erections. Consider getting a penile duplex ultrasound to evaluate penile blood flow.

Yes!: Nicotine in tobacco causes vasoconstriction which decreases blood flow everywhere including your penis. Quitting smoking will allow your penile blood vessels to open up & accept more blood once more such that erectile function should return. That assumes nothing else is going on like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, etc. Regardless, today's a great day to quit smoking.
