how much does smoking affect sperm?

Question

Does anyone have a partner who smokes? I know smoking is not ideal when TTC (I don't smoke). However just wondering if anyone has actually had successful pregnancies with a partner who smokes - trying to get an idea of how much it really does affect sperm quality... 
thanks!

Answer

My fiancé is a smoker, it didn't affect us. My dad is a smoker and it's never affected him, either! I've read that it can but there's probably more factors that play in to it.

Answer

Thanks so much! You've actually reminded me that both of my parents were heavy smokers when they conceived two of my siblings! Gives me hope... going into our 7th month of trying, and my partner will be going for his sperm test too - we're 35 this year so definitely want to get the ball rolling if we do need help!

Answer

My mom is a smoker and had 3 kids. All healthy. My sister's husband is a smoker, 2 healthy kids. My bio dad is a smoker, 4 healthy kids.
