Can Menthol Cigarettes Reduce Sperm Count?
I am 16 years old. I am 5'11". I weigh 10.5st. I was just wondering whether menthol filters which are used to roll cigarettes in tobacco are able to reduce sperm count in men. I am fully aware the damages of smoking, I just want to know whether this 'myth' about reducing sperm count is true or not?
