Hi there,Smoking is not advisable in couple trying to conceive and also because it will affect your partners' health. Smoking is known to cause several types of cancers in the person smoking and should definitely be avoided. Smoking can affect the amount or quantity of sperm, but it is not known to cause a deformity in the child born. It may make it difficult for you to get pregnant but deformities due to smoking is not known. Smoking should be avoided as even after the baby is born it is a known cause of sudden infant death in the first year of life. Also, you as the mother will be exposed to passive smoking and should be avoided. Hope this helps. Regards.
