Smoking women have a 40% higher risk of infertility compared to women who do not smoke. The research highlights that this significant increase in fertility problems is directly linked to the smoking habit.

In addition to active smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke also contributes to the difficulties couples face when trying to have children. Both factors considerably increase fertility-related problems.

The article is featured on the TV RECORD website, which brings this and other news about health and quality of life.

Why this matters

This information is relevant for women of reproductive age who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke, as it demonstrates a direct impact on the ability to conceive. The study reinforces the need for awareness about the reproductive risks of tobacco, which may influence personal health decisions and prevention policies.
