The dangers of smoking are well-known – it damages the air sacs in the lungs and blocks arteries and veins, disrupting blood circulation throughout the body. This clearly shows that the chemicals released from tobacco can impact every part of the body. Additionally, smoking has significant implications for the reproductive system, making it challenging for both men and women to conceive and maintain optimal reproductive health.
Whether trying to conceive naturally or through in vitro fertilisation (IVF), first-hand smoking or even passive smoking can significantly increase the risk of infertility for both genders. The risk is dependent on the number of cigarettes smoked each day.
