Can smoking affect sperm?

Studies show that smoking reduces sperm count. When you are trying to have a baby, it is important to be healthy, so it is best to stop smoking before attempting to conceive.

 

Quitting smoking will not only improve your chances of conception, but it will also help protect your family. Secondhand smoke can be dangerous for your partner and your baby.
