Can smoking affect my sperm count? A.G
Smoking can do so though there aren't many studies that show a direct relation. Smoking, in any case, is highly injurious to health. When you are trying to have a baby it's important to be as healthy as you can be, so my advice would be to stop smoking before attempting a pregnancy. Not only will it optimise your chances of conceiving, it will also help protect your family. Passive smoking can be dangerous for your partner and baby.
