Smoking Could Harm Sperm, Study Finds
Two studys have been conducted pertaining to the harmfull effects that smoking cigarettes can have on sperm in fathers and in the sons of women who smoked during pregnancy. Dr. Mohamed E. Hammadeh, one of the researchers working on this study said this: "The results of the present study suggest a negative biological effect of smoking on spermatozoa DNA integrity."
Hammadeh, and his colleagues confirmed that smoking can cause negative effects to a male's fertilization capabilities, and women who have smoked while they were pregnant caused problems in their son's reproductive abilities. All of the researchers agree on the statement that if you are hoping to conceive, you should not smoke tobacco products.
My Opinion:
I think that this was a great study to perform because some people believe that smoking isn't as bad as people say for your health, or they do not think that its going to affect them. This article and study may show hopefull parents that smoking IS harmfull and they should not partake in it.
