A member asked:
Can chewing tobacco lead to infertility in men?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tobacco in any form causes damage to sperm. It can cause some sperm to breakdown and can cause genetic mutations in sperm. But men usually have much more sperm that they need so usually the end result is not drastic. But it can vary man to man.
