Vaping can shrink testicles, cause sperm counts to plummet: new research

A new study offers more reasons why young males might want to think twice before grabbing an e-cigarette.

Working with rats, Turkish scientists found that vaping not only shrinks the size of male rats’ testicles, but slashes sperm counts and sinks the sex drive. The same thing happened with regular cigarettes, only the effects were more pronounced with regular tobacco products.

Vaping was already connected with a higher risk of infertility, lung injury and poor mental health.
