“…Said TM et al 2003 [21] , showed significant decrease in semen quality (sperm count, motility, morphology) associated with a chewing tobacco habit in men undergoing infertility evaluation. Parmar et al 2015 [22] and Sunanda et al 2014 [23] are consistent with significantly reduced semen quality in tobacco chewers. In our study sperm viability is not affected significantly.…”

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.

Infertility is defined as the inability of a sexually active, non-contracepting couple to achieve pregnancy in one year. In a developing country, like ours, where most societies are organized, the inability to bear children is a tragedy for the families and the conflux of personal, social and religious expectations brings a sense of failure, exclusion and loss who are infertile. So it becomes important to know about various risk factors associated with infertility, as awareness of male infertility is low in India.: To study sperm characteristics in tobacco users and non users undergoing infertility evaluation in a tertiary care hospital.: It was a cross sectional study, done for one and a half years from January 2016- December 2017 in a tertiary hospital.: After taking consent and detailed history, semen analysis according to WHO guidelines were done. Male patients who came for semen analysis for evaluation of their infertility were included. Amongst these semen parameters of tobacco users were compared with nonusers.: The data was analyzed using SPSS-22 We observed 102 cases for semen analysis, amongst them 46% samples were tobacco users and 54% samples were non-tobacco users. An increase in grade of tobacco usage was associated with a decrease in normal sperm parameters.: Fertility counsellors, clinicians need to be more focused to control male infertility by spreading the awareness of this addiction to enhance fertility potential. We advice men to stop tobacco usage to improve fertility and their quality of life.
