hi dear,
smoking and alcohol cause sexual problem. initially it affects erection somewhat but as the time pass erection won't occur. so it is better to quit alcohol and smoking. alcohol and smoking cause arterial narrowing and that's why blood flow decreased and that leads to erection problem.
so think about it and quit it.
consult psychiatrist for quitting it.
at this stage sexual problem may reverse when you quit it.
there are many medication which help you to quit.
Thank you
