A recent study carried out by healthcare professionals in Turkey has proposed that vaping may be associated with decreased sperm counts, diminished libido, and reduced testicle size.
The research findings, which were published in the Spanish medical journal Revista Internacional de Andrología and reported by The Daily Star, involved an examination of testicle size and sperm counts in rats. The study also assessed markers of stress in both the blood and genitals.
