If you have sex and sperm gets in but you smoke that night, will it cause the sperm to not be able to fertilize the egg? will you not get pregnant?

Smoking: Has no bearing on fertilization. Protect yourself if you are going to be sexually active.

No: Once sperm enters your body you are at risk to become pregnant. Smoking will not prevent that!
