Impotence was used as the theme of a major [California anti-smoking campaign](http://www.kickbutt.org/news/scarchives/9806-june/980602.html) in 1998. > [@](#): > > One ad, which links smoking to male impotence, features images of men smoking cigarettes that go limp. A voice-over says, “Medical researchers believe cigarettes are a leading cause of impotence. Cigarettes. Still think they’re sexy?” Kim Belshe, director of the California Department of Health Services, says that anxiety over sex, not health, may induce more men to quit smoking. Dr. Christopher Evans of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, said that a 1994 study of Massachusetts men found that smokers are twice as likely as nonsmokers to be impotent. ---
