Happy 420 to you too Andrew 😭😂 looks like I’m quitting the occasional smoke now too. My fertility is very important to me at this time.

I am 32 and I want to give up smoking both weed and nicotine so that I can have a healthy child. I have been a what Huberman would call a chronic user, hopefully stopping smoking would help.

[GHKELA]

Are these changes lasting? Persistent long term after cessation of drinking? Also with regards to health in general not just fertility

[Buhrmz]

Heard a Dr say that exact BS about it being "fine to have a drink while pregnant as long as it's just wine, not hard liquor" . . . Perhaps it's wilful/cultural ignorance, but in some cases it seems like there are Drs who just don't want to break the news to their patients that they should show extra discipline while they try to create a new living being. Where's the accountability/conscience of these medical professionals espousing anything other than alcohol abstinence during pregnancy?

What about smoking the occasional cigar or pipe tobacco? I ask because of the fact that you don't inhale the smoke, and users don't smoke them as often as cigarette smokers. Surely, this matters.

[toseltreps]

This isn't just about smoking, but mostly about the effects of ANY inhaled insoluble particulates.

I haven’t had a drink in over a month in much thanks to you. Incredibly, I don’t miss it. But OTOH God damn I miss coca cola so damn much…

When u talk about smoking/vaping - is it the same case with pure nicotine via gums or sprays?

[zakzwijn]

Toker for 23 years here - I had my semen tested by a hospital before I stopped with weed and 3 months after I quit. My semen quality had noticeably improved. I toke without tobacco - just weed through a vaporizer.

Does nicotine gum affect fertility ? I dont smoke but use nicotine as a stimulant . Found it useful for narcolepsy

[Irani_guy]

Andrew my friend will do IVF soon, how long before the IVF sperm donation will he need to stop smoking weed? daily user for 10 years.

[urspicyasian]

as a 17yo that participates in the mentioned unhealthy activities, ie. occasional cannabis use and nicotine. are there major or serious long term detriments to fertility/sperm health that will affect me later in my future life?

[handle_the_handle]

It's not neccesarily about reproduction (generation) but regeneration of your own body with semen retention

[lucillesambo]

2 drinks as in 2 glasses? Or as in bottles? At once?

[havwusbsb]

Wheres the data on marijuana affecting fertility in men?

[zmaschannel]

Do edibles affect fertility the way smoking does ?

[jrsbig]

What about eating cannabis infused foods? Does that affect 🤔 infertility

[sethlouiszimmerman]

I wonder about snus? I've recently move to snus instead of smoking as much and looking to only snus. PS I dont drink or do anything past cigarettes. Almost two years sober.
