We know that smoking has all sorts of ill effects on people, and among other things there is evidence that it affects fertility. Weinberg and Gladen (1986) examined the effects of smoking on the ease with which women become pregnant. They took 586 women who had planned pregnancies, and asked them how many menstrual cycles it had taken for them to become pregnant after discontinuing contraception. They also sorted the women into whether they were smokers or nonsmokers. The data follow.

	1 Cycle	2 Cycles	3+ Cycles	Total
Smokers	29	16	55	100
Nonsmokers	198	107	181	486
Total	227	123	236	586
