can smoking really cause sterility to men?

Question

i know, as a female, i shouldn't care about things like this, but i keep on hearing about it, so i got curious. is it true?

if it's true, what is in the cigarette that causes it?

Answer 1

uh oh, i better be off to the chemist then to get my nicotine patches

Answer 2

I haven't heard that about cigarettes. I have heard it about Marijuana seeds though. Most males that I hung with once upon a time would not smoke the seeds for fear of being sterile.

Answer 3

Smokers not only develop wrinkles and yellow teeth, they also lose bone density, which increases their risk of osteoporosis (pronounced: ahs-tee-o-puh-row-sus, a condition that causes older people to become bent over and their bones to break more easily). Smokers also tend to be less active than nonsmokers because smoking affects lung power. Smoking can also cause fertility problems in both men and women and can impact sexual health in males.
