A member asked:

So is there a possibility to get pregnant even though my boyfriend smokes? if so, are their any risks of the baby having any issues after being born?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very possible: Smoking doesn't prevent pregnancy and certainly doesn't cause male infertility at your age. Assuming he smokes around you, the risk are the same as a pregnant women living with second hand smoke. The issues vary based on the trimester of pregnancy. Sounds like some birth control is needed.
