“…and Tüzünetal, identified the potential hazardous chemicals present in cigarette smoke which may cause sperm abnormality by affecting the chromosomes (20,23) . In this study there were a significant difference in mean of sperm count, motility and morphology, the mean count of sperm of smoker (116.186) was lower than the mean in non-smoker which was (130.349) and also the same finding for normal morphology which was lower in smoker (56.43) than the non-smoker (66,13) also the same finding for sperm motility which was higher in non-smoker than the smoker for the mean of total motility which was (63,83) for smoker and (71.76) for nonsmoker, the percentage of( grade a) and (grade b) for smoker was lower in the group of smoker than the non-smoker which was (22.86/21,55) for grade a and b respectively for the smoker in comparison with the non-smoker (25.58/25.29) respectively and the result of this study agreed with ameta-analysis study done by( haji et al) (24) showed a mean reduction in sperm concentration of (13%), a mean reduction of sperm motility of (10%), and a mean reduction of morphologically normal sperm of (3%) was reported in smokers, also in the study of Lewin (25) reported a statistically significant difference in sperm concentration. In this study Smoking, however, had a statistically non-significant effect on ejaculatory volume (p>0.05) and this agreed with a study who revealed no significant difference in volume of ejaculation between the smoker and non -smoker (26) .…”

Background: Cigarette smoking is a broadly recognized health hazard and a major cause of mortality but still people continue to smoke cigarettes on a regular basis. Tobacco has numerous carcinogens and mutagens which have deleterious effects on human beings. Effect of carcinogens has been observed to be more on rapidly dividing cells which include germ cells. The maximum prevalence of smoking is observed in young adult males in the reproductive period Aims and objectives: To compare different seminal fluid parameters among smoker and non-smoke, to know the effect of cigarette smoking on sperm counts, motility and morphology, and the difference in seminal fluid variables between smokers and nonsmokers. Patients and Methods:The case -control study performed from May 2015 to December 2015 carried in laboratory of Rizgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil city and a questionnaire prepared for each case. Only patients with primary infertility, who were either smokers or strict non-smokers, were selected and the non -smoker considered as control group. The selected study group of 100 smokers and 100 strict non -smokers had only one known factor which differentiated them, i.e. cigarette smoking and the duration of smoking was determined by 5 years. A semen specimen was collected after 3days of abstinence period, in a widemouth, clean and sterile container. All semen samples were analyses for semen parameters: liquefaction time, volume, viscosity, motility, sperm concentration, morphology and number of pus cells in the sample. Results:The mean age of both non -smoker and smoker were 33.28 and 34.89 years respectively with maximum and minimum age were22and 45years respectively with the mean duration of infertility for smoker 6.85 years and for the non-smoker was 7.24 years. There were a significant difference in seminal fluid parameters which includes the Ph, viscosity, sperm count, sperm motility, morphology and pus cells in seminal fluid between the smoker and non -smoker while there were no significant difference in volume.There was significant difference between the two groups regarding seminal fluid variable which includes (Normozoospermia, Asthenozoospermia, Oligoasthenozoospermia, Oligoasthenteratospermia Asthenoteratospermia, Teratizoospermia and Oligozoospermia) with p value (P<0.000). Conclusions:The smoking has bad effect on seminal fluid parameters and there was a difference between the two groups and the smoking can affect and reduce the fertility of the male. Smoking can be a cause of infertility in males especially those with idiopathic infertility.

“…Semen parameters from the present study of tobacco smokers compared to with Patel K et al 2013 [17] , in which the results are consistent with reduced parameters like sperm concentration and motility. However, in our study parameters like volume, sperm viability is less affected.…”

“…Although various studies have demonstrated that cigarette smok ing is associated with the abnormal semen parameters [6,10,16] in heavy (frequent) smokers had lower sperm concentration and a lower total sperm count, motility, semen volume than non-smokers, the toxic effects of smoking on semen parameters are not fully understood. Distraction in endocrine system or mild hypoxia caused by the disruption of the testicular micro circulation are possible explanations, still direct toxic effect of the many chemical components in the cigarette smoke on the germinative epithelium is a more likely explanation [24] . Oxidants in cigarette smoke are thought responsible to damage sperm DNA, and tobacco smokers have more oxidative DNA damage in their sperm than do non-smokers.…”

“…Oxidants in cigarette smoke are thought responsible to damage sperm DNA, and tobacco smokers have more oxidative DNA damage in their sperm than do non-smokers. [24] With respect to male infertility, nicotine is absorbed in substantial quantities as a result of tobacco chewing and could contribute to the adverse consequences. Demonstration by murine models have documented virulent inflammatory reaction and marked ultrastructural changes in the testes of animals exposed to nicotine.…”

Background: Tobacco consumption in any form is a well known health hazard and a major cause of mortality. This may affect male reproductive function and conveniently evaluated by semen analysis. Thus semen parameters of the subjects with habits of consumption compared within cases and control groups. Methods: Subjects referred for semen analysis & volunteers were studied. Detailed history of personal, occupational and tobacco consumption was obtained. Semen analysis performed as per the WHO guideline 2010, 5th edition. We included tobacco smokers, chewers and nonaddicted subjects. Tobacco consumers further stratified according to type, amount and duration of consumption and various semen parameters from these groups compared by using ANOVA and unpaired-t test. Result: Out of 157 subjects, 25 as control, 32-tobacco smokers, 87-tobacco chewers, 13 with both habits, further stratified according to amount and duration of consumption. There is significant reduced semen parameters of tobacco consumers obtained in relation to its amount of consumption were-sperm concentration, motility and morphology, while not affected with duration of consumption. Oligozoospermia was higher in tobacco consumers. Conclusion: Results of study found that tobacco consumption in men is associated with reduced sperm quality (including count, motility & morphology). This concludes tobacco consumption is one of the risk factor in male infertility and subfertility.
