A study found that women who smoke e-cigarettes have a reduced chance of becoming pregnant. This study is considered the first large-scale study to prove the link between e-cigarettes and fertility.
According to foreign media such as the British Guardian on the 26th (local time), Hertility, a British women’s health company, announced the results of a study based on data from 325,000 women in their 20s and 30s. In the study, a quarter of women trying to get pregnant said they smoked e-cigarettes regularly or occasionally.
A study analyzing blood samples from 8,340 women found that women who smoked regular cigarettes or electronic cigarettes had low levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Anti-Müllerian hormone is often compared to ovarian age and tells how many eggs the ovary has and how many of these eggs can be ovulated. It is generally used as an indicator of the possibility of pregnancy by evaluating the reserve capacity of the ovaries.
Dr. Helen O’Neill, professor of reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London (UCL) in the UK and CEO of Hertility, urged women who want to become pregnant or are trying to quit e-cigarettes.
He told the media, “Clear guidelines on alcohol, electronic cigarettes, smoking and drugs should be provided to women planning pregnancy.”
“It shows that anti-Müllerian hormone is suppressed when using e-cigarettes in a similar way to what has already been shown in smokers compared to non-smokers,” he said. “Instead of reducing the amount or frequency to an appropriate level, you must stop all of these activities to increase your chances of pregnancy.” “There is,” he emphasized.
Meanwhile, in the UK, a bill was recently passed banning teenagers born after 2009 from purchasing cigarettes. They are also attempting to introduce new regulations banning the sale and supply of electronic cigarettes.
According to the ‘Report on Youth Drug Use Trends’ published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the University of Glasgow, Scotland, on the 25th (local time), the UK had a high rate of e-cigarette smoking experience among teenagers.
A survey found that one in ten 11-year-olds in the UK have tried e-cigarettes at least once. By age 15, this increases to 26% for male adolescents and 40% for female adolescents.
Dr Joe Incilli, HBSC International Coordinator at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, said further action was needed because “e-cigarettes are too easily accessible to young people and their health risks are underestimated.”
