Not as much: The decrease in successfully conceiving with regards to smoking is believed to be attributed to its toxic effect on the oocytes/eggs. There are many different toxic agents in a typical tobacco cigarette, most of which have the potential to affect the eggs. With the nicotine patch, many of these other toxic agents are avoided. Of course, discontinue patch once nicotine patch is no longer needed.
