Implication

Systematic review finds maternal, paternal, and dual-parental smoking adversely affects offspring reproductive health, indicating urgent guidelines are needed.

Key Points

Male offspring exposed to parental cigarette smoke show reduced spermatogenic capacity, with 30-40% decrease in sperm production.
Dual-parental smoking leads to lower sperm counts, averaging 85 million per ml compared to 111 million in single-smoking households.
The review integrates findings from 30 studies, emphasizing the importance of both human and animal research on smoking effects.
Standardized research protocols are necessary to improve the reliability and comparability of smoking impact studies on fertility.
