3 myths about smoking cessation

Myth 1: Can smoking a cigarette help you relax after sex?

The doctor said: "Nicotine only brings a short-term sense of relaxation, but it will damage your body's dopamine secretion system, making it more difficult to relax in the long run."

Myth 2: Is the cigarette after the event a perfect ending?

Sex therapists point out: "This is a wrong impression given to you by AVs and movies. The real intimate moment should be to enjoy the warmth of two people hugging each other."

Myth 3: Can tobacco improve sexual ability?

The doctor stressed: "This is a completely wrong concept! Nicotine will narrow blood vessels, directly affecting sexual function and may even lead to ED (erectile dysfunction)."
