We do know that smoking can
We do know that smoking can cause fertility problems; there are over a dozen studies that have linked the two. Some specific things that seem to happen are a disruption of a woman’s egg maturation, ovulation and fertilization, and a reduction on the woman’s egg quantity and quality. Non-human studies show that eggs which have been exposed to nicotine have more chromosomal abnormalities.
