Prostate health is likely to be affected if you smoking cigarettes or any nicotine containing product.
The studies proved that cigarette smoking increase the risk of prostate cancer.
There are several hypothetical mechanisms through which cigarette smoking may enhance prostate cancer risk.
For example, cigarette smoking may alter circulating levels of steroid hormones. Smoking has been associated with higher levels of bioavailable testosterone and lower levels of bioavailable estradiol in men.
In addition, cigarettes contain significant levels of cadmium, which has been linked to prostate carcinogenesis. Both of these mechanisms could support an association between cigarette smoking and prostate cancer.

Nicotine is a known carcinogenic i.e. cancer-causing chemical, and ingesting it on a daily basis can have severe effects on both your immune system and many of the systems that make up your body.
While nicotine affects the respiratory system more than the rest of the body, prostate health can also suffer as a result of smoking.
Men who had ever smoked were 66% more likely to have had the prostate cancer, when compared to those who never smoked.
Those who had smoked within the last 10 years had a risk increased by more than two and a half times, while the risk for those who were still smoking was more than three and a half times higher.
The risk of having more advanced disease was also related to the amount of smoking.
Quit Smoking Now!

Men, who quit smoking now, before they are diagnosed with prostate cancer, may improve their chances of having a more curable form of the disease if it arises later on.
