Even pregnant women smoke, but also easy to cause miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, birth weight children is much lighter than non-smokers.

For men, because cigarette smoke contains a strong teratogenic substances, so men tend to make the sperm less smoking, smoking 20 cigarettes a day, only 50% of sperm viability, and the emergence of a variety of abnormal sperm, to bring about sterility or birth of children with congenital malformations troubles. And nicotine on sperm motility and penetration have an effect.
