2. Many young people and pregnant
women are using electronic
cigarettes as a safer alternative to
smoking, but only a few people know
about their impact on fertility and
pregnancy. Electronic cigarettes are
increasing the use of tobacco
products by adolescents.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the number of middle school students
using e-cigarettes rose from 2.1 million in 2017 to 3.6
million in 2018, which is about 1.5 million different
from the number of young people.

Recently, a mouse study published in the Journal of the
Endocrine Society showed that the use of electronic
cigarettes might affect fertility and pregnancy
outcomes.
Dr. Kathleen Caron of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, who co-authored the study, said they
found that using electronic cigarettes before
pregnancy significantly delayed the implantation of
fertilized eggs into the uterus, thereby delaying and
reducing fertility.
5. 5
The study also found that the use of electronic
cigarettes during pregnancy can alter the long-term
health and metabolism of female offspring, thereby
having a lifelong secondary impact on the developing
fetus.
8. It can lead to the
imbalance of estrogen
secretion, induce
menstrual disorders,
delayed or early
menstruation, less or
heavy menstrual flow, and
other phenomena.
Nicotine and other harmful
substances in cigarettes
with menstrual disorders
have a certain impact on
female estrogen secretion.

In addition, surveys show that
women who smoke regularly
are three times more likely to
have dysmenorrhea than non-
smokers, and adenomyosis is
based on estrogen.
10. 10
The higher the level of estrogen in the body, the
greater the likelihood of adenomyosis.
Adenomyosis is one of the main causes of
dysmenorrhea, so patients need active
treatment to avoid infertility.

Fuyan Pill is a good choice, and it consists of more
than fifty kinds of natural herbs. It can activate blood
circulation and remove blood stasis, invigorate the
spleen and relieve dampness, fundamentally cure
adenomyosis, and effectively alleviate female
dysmenorrhea and other discomfort or symptoms.
13. 13
Harmful substances in tobacco with premature
ovarian failure (such as nicotine, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, etc.) are the most widely studied
toxins to change ovarian function.
These harmful substances can reduce the level
of female estrogen secretion, lead to
premature aging of female ovaries, and then
affect ovarian function, making women look
older than the actual year.
15. 15
The harmful substances contained in the pregnant
cigarettes will also have adverse effects on the ciliary
motility of the fallopian tube, thereby reducing the
probability of conception.
If a smoking woman is
pregnant, it may also have an
impact on her baby's health,
and there is a great possibility
that fetal malformation occurs.

Although smoking does not cause breast
disease, Canadian studies have found
that women who smoke generally have a
higher risk of breast cancer.
Women who smoke a pack of cigarettes a
day for nine consecutive years have a
59% higher risk of breast cancer.
19. 19
The medical evidence of uterine
diseases shows that women who
smoke are more susceptible to
cancer, and the risk of cervical
cancer among smokers is as high as
80%.
20. Women who have been exposed to
secondhand smoke for a long time
have the highest risk of cervical
precancerous lesions up to 7.2 times.
In addition, if women smoke during
pregnancy, it may also lead to
ectopic pregnancy or less breast milk.
