My dear friend, smoking dope do causes decrease in sperm count or oligospermia if it is taken in daily basis like addiction. And in case of pregnancy it can cause congential anomalies in heart or neural tube defects . hence kindly remain abstinent from dope and all these sideeffects are proven by animal tests and also have been reported in studies on patients.
