Smoking while pregnant, threatens fertility of Child


Latest research carried out in UK show that smoking is having a far more serious effect on sexual health than previously thought and is responsible for many thousands of cases of impotence, cervical cancer, miscarriages, and infertility. WOMEN who smoke while pregnant are threatening the fertility of boys

About 120 000 men in the United Kingdom aged 30 to 50 are impotent because of smoking, according to new calculations in the report. In addition, smoking is implicated in about 1200 cases of malignant cervical cancer and around 3000 to 5000 miscarriages every year.


Smoking can lead to a higher risk of miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight, as well as more problems at and after birth
