Smoking tobacco can affect your sex life and reproductive system

1.Women

Tobacco use can damage a woman’s reproductive health. Women who smoke are more likely to have trouble getting pregnant. When they are pregnant they also tend to have problems that can hurt both mother and baby, for instance:

-Serious bleeding, early delivery (premature birth), and emergency Caesarean section (C-section) may result from these problems.
-Smokers are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy (where the embryo implants outside the uterus), which can threaten the mother’s life.

• Smokers are also more likely to have early membrane ruptures and placentas that separate from the uterus too early.
• Smoking during pregnancy has also been linked to a higher risk of birth defects and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
  -Smokers are more likely to have miscarriages, stillbirths, babies with cleft lip or palate, and low birth-weight babies.
  -Women who smoke tend to be younger at the start of menopause than non-smokers and may have more unpleasant symptoms while going through menopause.

2.Men
-Smoking can also affect sperm (which reduces fertility) and increase the risk for miscarriage and birth defects.)
-Smoking damages the arteries, and blood flow is a key part of male erections. Male smokers have a higher risk of sexual impotence (erectile dysfunction) the more they smoke and the longer they smoke. At least one study has also linked cigar smoking to sexual impotence in men.
