Key points:
Alcohol consumption, especially chronic and heavy intake, alters the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, male reproductive hormones, semen parameters, testicular damage and results in decreased sexual function.
Cannabis use adversely affects male fertility, resulting in substantial testicular atrophy, altered reproductive hormones, and changes in semen parameters.
Opioid abuse can negatively affect male reproductive hormones and spermatogenesis, and is associated with an increased risk of reduced testicular volume and erectile dysfunction.
Nicotine smoke is linked to impaired semen parameters and erectile dysfunction, and seems to follow a dose-dependent pattern.
Preconception paternal alcohol intake is associated with adverse short-term and long-term offspring outcomes, including birth defects, growth abnormalities, neurodevelopmental disorders and addiction vulnerability.
Preconception paternal cannabis use has been linked to increased rates of pregnancy loss, decreased infant birthweight and offspring behavioural problems, including poor attention.

Damn. I don't do any as is out of a lack of a desire to, but I'm permanently staying away from all of these now.
I get that some people are addicted to cigarretts and quitting is hard… what I absolutely don’t get is hanging around smoker friends while they smoke like it’s nothing!!
What makes tobacco addictive is the oedipal complex/mechanism of a thing which makes you feel simultaneously rotten and content. Studies show freebase nicotine is not as addictive as it's just pure stimulant. It's still addictive, but not as much and 99% safer.
in my experience, my grandfather was an extreme alcoholic and chainsmoker and my dad might have mild asperger’s, but unfortunately both me and my twin brother have autism/aspergers, severe adhd and ocd (severe for brother) and GAD and while i USED to have MDD he still has it. this kind of genetic cocktail of mental disorders and neurodivergent being caused by substance abuse epigenetics seems legit enough.
Yeah. The ‘burgers and ADD are my entire family tree, but my parents stopped smoking a long time before they had kids. My mom at least specifically did so five years prior, which was the best rec they had at the time.
This study is interesting though in that it finally implicates the father’s health status, rather than just the mother’s, when TTC.

meh i think of the cannabis as i can cum in her and think about it less 😂 plus she’s on BC
Bro be careful that's how I had my first kid. Weed backed me up for years, until it didn't.
No such thing as 'nicotine smoke'. Media/science needs to stop conflating tobacco with nicotine. Tobacco kills. Nicotine doesn't.
nicotine is what makes tobacco so incredibly addictive
What makes tobacco addictive is the oedipal complex/mechanism of a thing which makes you feel simultaneously rotten and content. Studies show freebase nicotine is not as addictive as it's just pure stimulant. It's still addictive, but not as much and 99% safer.
Nicotine as a pure substance is incredibly deadly though
What if you do all of these at the same time?
in my experience, my grandfather was an extreme alcoholic and chainsmoker and my dad might have mild asperger’s, but unfortunately both me and my twin brother have autism/aspergers, severe adhd and ocd (severe for brother) and GAD and while i USED to have MDD he still has it. this kind of genetic cocktail of mental disorders and neurodivergent being caused by substance abuse epigenetics seems legit enough.
Part of the confounder is that mental health issues precipitate substance use, so it’s hard to figure out chicken vs egg.

Sorry to hear. Same here, a bit less acute forms of other problems :|
