Smoke Vs. Sperm
For every cigarette you smoke, you lose 14 minutes of your life. But don’t you know that it also reduces the density and speed of sperm, making it more difficult for conception?
According to the Hemizona Assay by Dr. Loni Burkman, reproductive medicine specialist from the University of Bufffalo, the sperm from nearly two-thirds of the chronic smokers failed a special test that measures the sperm’s ability to fertilize egg. Those men showed a 75% decline in fertilizing capacity compared to non-smokers. Human sperm carry a receipt for nicotine, which means they recognize and respond to nicotine. Heavy smokers overloads the nicotine receptor in human sperm and the testes, declining fertilizing potential.
The study involved 18 men who smoke at least four cigarettes a day for more than two years where sperm function was compared to that of non-smokers whose fertilizing capacity had been confirmed. Almost all smokers whose sperm failed the test had an index of 36 or less, which means a severe loss in fertilizing capacity. Honey! Hand me that nicotine patch!
