A member asked:

How many days should your boyfriend stop smoking so i can conceive a baby .

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Angela Walker answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Smoking & Pregnancy: There are no well established studies indicating when a baby can be conceived after the male partner is abstaining from smoking. Smoking by the male partner does not directly affect conception. If anything it is smoking by the potential mother that has the biggest impact on conception and the health of the baby.
