Smoking and infertility

• Did you know smoking damages the DNA in your and
  your partners eggs and sperm? For this reason it
  may be harder and take some couples longer to
  conceive where one or both partners smoke.

• If a woman smokes, it can have affects at each
  stage of the reproductive process, including egg
  maturation, hormone production, embryo transport
  and the environment in the uterus. Women who
  smoke are also more likely to go through
  menopause at a younger age.
