Smoking, second-hand smoke and fertility.

Where to find support

  • Your doctor, for medical advice, referrals and emotional support.
  • Your fertility clinic, for questions about your treatment or results.
  • Your nearest hospital or maternity unit, if you are pregnant and worried.
  • Your local emergency number, if symptoms are severe or worsening.

Key takeaways

  • Smoking affects both egg and sperm health.
  • Second-hand smoke matters too, so it helps when both partners stop.
  • Free Quitline support is available across Australia.
