The World Health Organization has issued a new public-health warning that tobacco smoking may reduce the chances of conception, highlighting reproductive health as another major area affected by tobacco use.
WHO’s new knowledge summary says smoking can harm reproductive health and may affect fertility among people trying to conceive.
The agency is using the new evidence to reinforce calls for stronger tobacco-control measures and greater public awareness of the wider health consequences of smoking.
The warning comes as reproductive health and tobacco prevention remain important components of global efforts to improve healthy life expectancy and reduce preventable disease.
