Cigarette smoking can cause infertility.
Smokers are more likely to have fertility problems than nonsmokers. If you smoke for many years, or smoke many cigarettes per day, your risk for fertility problems is increased.
When you smoke, more than 7000 chemicals spread throughout your entire body and all of your organs. This can lead to fertility problems, including the following:
Ovulation problems
Genetic issues
Damage to your reproductive organs
Damage to your eggs or premature menopause.
Increased risk of cancer and increased risk of miscarriage
