“…20,21 IVF cycles outcome Several studies investigated if a smoking habit influences IVF outcome. 22,23 The lack of consensus among studies reflects the methodological difficulties mentioned in the beginning of this presentation. Clear sources of bias are the variations in the definition of cigarette smoking and not controlling for male partner smoking history.…”

A strong body of evidence indicates that the negative effect of cigarette smoking on fertility comprises fairly every system involved in the reproductive process. The impact of cigarette smoking on ovarian reserve is clearly evidenced by younger age at menopause of smokers. Tobacco compounds' impairment of the process of ovarian follicle maturation is expressed by worse in-vitro fertilization parameters in cycles performed on women with smoking habits. Also, uterine receptiveness and tubal function are significantly altered by the smoking habit. In men, cigarette smoking reduces sperm production, increases oxidative stress, and DNA damage. Spermatozoa from smokers have reduced fertilizing capacity, and embryos display lower implantation rates. Couples at reproductive age should be strongly discouraged to smoke.

Worldwide, many nonsmokers (often women and children) are exposed to second-hand smoke (SHS) in home settings, as men retain their traditional power and control within their family and women and children have limited agency to intervene. This study, set up to explore home smoking management in rural China, found that some women were able to positively intervene to restrict men's smoking at three key stages: prior to conception, during their pregnancy and at the early years of their children's lives. By utilizing dominant social, health and political narratives about the importance of raising a healthy child supported by the One-Child Policy in China, combined with the fear of health risks of SHS to young children, the women were able to use their elevated status as bearer and carers of the only children to subvert the pre-eminence of men in domestic environments, enabling them to positively influence home smoking. While this study highlights the possibility for future smoking cessation initiatives in China by incorporating family carers' elevated awareness of protection of children's health in key stages of childhood, there is also a need for further health education, as family members were unsure why they needed to keep children smoke-free, which may partially explain why few households were smoke-free.
