Smoking can damage fertility in both partners and reduce conception chances

Smoking acts as a physical barrier to conception and childbirth, systematically damaging the reproductive systems of both partners. The risks are most pronounced for women: the probability of developing infertility increases by 40% for smokers. For men, tobacco use leads to sexual dysfunction and degrades sperm quality. In some instances, this habit becomes the sole reason for the inability to conceive, even in the absence of other medical conditions.
