Smoking, whether it is in the form of cigarettes, bidi, cigar or hookah, is a form of nicotine addiction. All of them are harmful. It can cause cancer and damages the lungs and the respiratory tract.\n\nCigarette smoking is a major cause of preventable deaths worldwide. On an average, people who smoke die 5 to 8 years earlier than people who dont smoke. Tobacco users, and people who live with smokers, have nearly all cases of lung cancer. Their risk of developing throat, mouth, oesophageal, pancreatic, kidney, bladder, and cervical cancer is several times greater than for people who are not regularly exposed to tobacco smoke. Smoking is the major cause of emphysema, a debilitating lung disease which slowly destroys a persons ability to breathe normally. Smoking is especially hazardous for people with heart disease, blood vessel disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of these diseases.\n\nSmokers, and those living with smokers, have a two times greater risk of fatal heart disease. Smoking also increases the risk of having a stroke. Women, especially those over 35 years old, who take birth control pills and smoke have an increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Increased blood pressure is another danger of smoking. Smoking also decreases HDL (the good cholesterol) levels. Smokers and people living with them have a two to three times greater chance of having peptic ulcers. Smokers also have a greater than average risk of hip, wrist, and fractures of the spine. In addition, smoking also complicates sleep disorders. Smokers also tend to get colds and other respiratory tract infections more often than nonsmokers.\n\nTobacco smoke is dangerous to nonsmokers. Exposure to the smoke, also called passive smoking, increases the risks of nonsmokers getting the same problems as smokers. A nonsmoker in a very smoky room for 1 hour with several smokers inhales as many bad chemicals as he would inhale by actually smoking 10 or more cigarettes himself.\n\nSmoking affects pregnant women and their unborn children. Smoking mothers have a greater risk of miscarriage and stillbirth. Children born to women who smoke have lower birth weights on average. They also have more frequent respiratory infections, a higher risk of chronic ear infections and asthma, and less efficient lung function. Children of smokers usually become cigarette smokers themselves. The more cigarettes a person smokes each day, the greater the risk of disease. Cigar and pipe smokers are at the same risk for cancers of the mouth, lip, larynx, and oesophagus as cigarette smokers. Fortunately, when a smoker stops smoking many of these risks decrease. Users of snuff or chewing tobacco (smokeless tobacco) increase their risk of cancer of the mouth. The mouth cancer can develop relatively quickly, within 10 to 15 years of the first use of snuff or chewing tobacco.

I agree.  Seek a doctor's advice. You can never be too careful when you are TTC and taking diet supplements.   It may effect his sperm in some way.  Good luck!!

semen contains lots of vitamin c (Ascorbic acid) and many sperm do die off before they get to the egg. but the females vagina is not full of urine because the urethra opens on the outside not inside the vagina.  i would say that semen is acidic bearing that information in mind

In their dried form, white-out, paint chips, etc. really aren't that dangerous, unless the paint has heavy metal pigments in it. In an INHALED form (which is what I wonder if you are truly asking here?), there are many long-term systemic effects. Most of them are neurological, muscular, and kidney-related. There are effects on the bone marrow. There is no mention of infertility as a long-term effect.. See below link:\n\nhttp://www.inhalants.org/damage.htm\n\nIf a woman is using inhalants while pregnant, there is a great risk to the developing fetus. Someone I am very close to made the difficult choice to not carry a child to term for that reason. Inhalant abuse is very common, and there is help available to those who are victims. No-one has the right to judge another until s/he has been there. That you survived and learned is to your credit.\n\nIf you and your husband are having trouble conceiving, see a fertility specialist. There may be an underlying problem of another cause, but I doubt your past has made you infertile. The 3 most common causes of infertility in someone your age are:\n\n1) PID scarring of the fallopial tubes\n2) endometriosis\n3) low sperm count in the man\n\nGood luck to you.

No, only a low sperm count or reproduction problems will cause problems in concdeiving. They should apply for tests, I suggest the male goes for tests first as the female one consists of internal, so will be more uncomfortable

Yes, the excessive masturbation always affects adversely on sperm production. But you can replenish the sperm by eating oysters, meat, eggs, and drink a lot of milk.

It depends on how much the sperm  drink. No actually, it turns out that men who regularly drink coffee have sperm with better strength and endurance than men who do not drink coffee.

Heart Disease and Stroke\nSmoking causes fatty deposits to build up in the blood vessels, leaving them narrow or blocked. This leads to heart disease or stroke. About 40% of deaths due to heart disease before the age of 65 are related to smoking. \n\nCancer\nCigarette smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing substances. \nSmoking is the most common, preventable cause of lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers\n\nThe longer one smokes, the greater the risk of developing cancers such as cervical and breast cancer, cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney and bladder. \n\nChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)\nSmoking narrows the airways and destroys the air sacs in the lungs. This makes breathing difficult. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is the 6th largest cause of death in Singapore.\n\nBone Loss and Osteoporosis\nOsteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to lose density and become brittle, leading to hip, spine and wrist fractures. \n\nWomen who smoke are 50% more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than non-smokers. \n\nRe-productive and Sexual Health\nSmoking increases the risk of infertility in both men and women.\n\n  Men  \n  • Smokers are 50% more likely to suffer from impotence or erectile dysfunction. \n  • Smoking reduces the volume of ejaculation, lowers sperm count, distorts sperm shape and impairs sperm mobility.  \n\n   Women \n  • Women who smoke may experience early menopause and more menopausal symptoms. \n  • Smoking may lead to decreased egg counts due to destruction of eggs in the ovaries before the eggs reach maturity.  \n\n   • Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. The smoke inhaled (either directly from a cigarette or from second-hand smoke) by a pregnant woman goes directly to her baby's lungs. It prevents as much as 25 % of oxygen from reaching the placenta.\n \n\n\nSecond-hand Smoke\nAbout 90% of the smoke from every cigarette ends up in the air as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). \n  ETS \n  • causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked before.  \n  • causes heart attack, especially among the spouses of smokers. ETS also increases the risk of repeated heart attacks if one has suffered from heart attack before. \n\n   • increases the risk of heart disease, lung disease, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, blood vessel disease or worsen the symptoms if one is already suffering from these.
