The statistical analysis was done using student paired ‘t’- test using SPSS software. Results were expressed in terms of mean and standard deviation. p-value was taken significant at 5 percent confidence level (p<0.05). Result: Semen analysis was done in 3 groups Ist control, IInd tobacco chewing and IIIrd smokers. The value of biochemical parameter shows significant decrease from Ist to IIIrd group. Conclusion: From our study we conclude that addiction has adverse effect on the biochemical parameter of semen analysis and thus affecting the male fertility.
