This one is a given, I know. Any habit that causes you to wake up the next morning coughing, can not be good for you, but here are a few additional facts you may not have thought about:
Smoking damages just about every reproductive organ including: eggs, fallopian tubes and sperm. Smoking also increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in fallopian tube) and increases the risk of miscarriage. Both cigarette and marijuana use result in the production of abnormal sperm. Nicotine in the cervical mucus of women who smoke also kills sperm, making pregnancy less likely. Both men and women will experience hormonal changes if they are smokers. And if you know anything about reproduction / fertility, you know that the entire production is put on by the fluctuation of several hormones. If a hormone level does not reach it's potential, conception could be impossible.
BUT... keep in mind that stopping smoking CAN reverse some of the damage, and infertility issues can be resolved!
So, if you are trying to conceive and you are a smoker, STOP NOW. You may be pleasantly surprised when you see that plus sign in a month or two :)
# 3 coming soon...
