Can Smoking Cause Fatigue, Cough And Poor Libido?

Hi, I am a smoker since last 3-4 years, not a regular smoker. I have stopped it for 6-12 months in between. Now Sometimes I feel that I am loosing in stamina. I am also having cough problem but not a dry cough. The cough problem was there prior to smoking also. How does smoking effects sex stamina?

My age is 26, Ht. is 187cms, Wt. is 82Kgs. And from all other perspective, I am a healthy person.

Smoking is a risk factor for male sexual dysfunction.
BUT, by far the biggest risk for male sexual dysfunction--equal to all other risks combined--is not exercising. Somking contributes a great deal to this if someone's ability to exercise is compromised by the smoking.
Smoking lowers the lungs' ability to oxygenate the blood and lowers the amount and frequency and duration of ability to exercise. Regaining it requires quitting cigarettes entirely. And even then it takes months to see a return of exercising ability.
