We examined smoking in relation to natural menopause in 543 women who prospectively recorded menstrual data from their 20s. Mean age at natural menopause was 0.8 years younger (95% CL = -1.5, -0.0) in 98 women who smoked at menopause compared with 362 never-smokers (RR 1.3, 95% CI = 1.0-1.7). We did not observe a decrease in age at natural menopause in former smokers, a dose-response among current smokers, or a lower age at menopause with passive smoke exposure at home. These results suggest that the effect of smoking on ovarian senescence is limited to active smoking during the menopausal transition.
