title: Smoking may be dangerous to your (sex) life.
abstract: One of the effects of smoking on penile arteries and veins is impotence. The nurse has a responsibility to educate patients about this effect and to help them quit smoking if this is their goal. The authors apply a teaching model used with other patient populations to facilitate this teaching-learning process.
