Long-term exposure also increases the risk of heart disease, asthma, and chronic lung problems for the entire family.
👉 Simply put: when a man smokes at home, he turns his wife and children into passive smokers. Quitting, or at least keeping smoking out of the home entirely, is not only an act of self-care, but also of love and responsibility.

2. Refusing protection during intimacy
One of the most easily preventable causes of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Condoms significantly reduce the risk of transmitting HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases, yet many men refuse to use them, claiming they are uncomfortable or reduce pleasure.
This puts their wives at risk:
HPV is directly linked to over 90% of cervical cancer cases.
Even if a man shows no symptoms, he can silently transmit the virus to his partner.
When used correctly, condoms are up to 98% effective in reducing the risk of infection.
👉 Prioritizing protection isn’t just about avoiding pregnancy, it’s about safeguarding a woman’s long-term health.

Too many men avoid going to the doctor unless absolutely necessary. But skipping medical checkups, especially for infections, can have hidden consequences for their partners.
