Is it necessary to quit smoking before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Please tell me if I have to quit smoking before pregnancy. I have a strong addiction to cigarettes and it's very difficult for me to quit. Is it true that if I can't quit smoking, I won't be able to have children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, men should quit smoking and drinking three months before pregnancy, reduce the frequency of sexual activity, and ensure the quality of sperm. Women should also quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to hygiene, and prevent colds and other diseases. Supplement folic acid two months in advance.
