As far as I know...Smoking cigarettes has
nothing to do with infertility...However,
smoking other things can.

some of the cervix mucous.But I know alot
of family members and friends that smoke
and got preg.I do smoke also.Trying to

I read that it won't cause you to be
infertile.

Hello Ladies How Are Everyone Today? Posted: 02-11-04 20:58pm
I also smoke and am trying to quit but it
is hard,i did quit for a year but then my
mom passed away and I started back.I know
alot of people that smoke and have gotten
preg.My mom did and have 5 healthy babies
and my neices also smoked and have healthy
children.I was told it dries up the
cervical mucous and lowers a mans sperm
count but then again I know a lot of
daddy,s that smoke.So I dunno.It can lower
a babies birthweight though.Theres so
many things a women has to prevent.When I
had my son 22 yrs ago I never knew of all
the things I do now since I had my tubes
reversed and was on clomid and iui,s my
mom was floored from all I had told her I
had to do.But times have changed .Mare

I've been a smoker for the past 16 yrs.
Since I tried to have a baby, I cut down
on smoking. I think smoking is not
directly related to infertility.
However, I recall I read some articles on
smoking, alcohol & caffine effecting
conception. Those "bad habits" are said
to have bad influences to women trying to
conceive. I wont agrue that. Pls,
ladies, I know it's very difficult to give
up smoking (or the others), do cut down
the intake. Good lucky to u all

I don't think it matters what you smoke
its not going to affect your chances.If
you are trying for a family why don't you
give up for their sake.Asthma in children
is getting more common.No judgement meant
by the way.
