Smoking women face 40% higher infertility risk than non-smokers

Notícias de Coimbra8 September 2026 at 10:40

Women who smoke have a 40% higher risk of suffering from infertility compared to those who do not smoke. This is the main conclusion of a study that analyzes the relationship between smoking habits and female reproductive capacity.

The article warns that tobacco negatively affects women's fertility significantly. This investigation reinforces the scientific evidence that smoking is an important risk factor for reproduction problems.

Experts recommend that women who wish to become pregnant avoid smoking or try to quit this habit as quickly as possible. Reducing the risk of infertility is yet another argument in favor of smoking cessation.

This study joins other investigations that have already demonstrated the harmful effects of tobacco on female reproductive health, underscoring the importance of awareness policies regarding the risks associated with smoking.
