"Smoking pregnant … causes considerable damage to the fetus and to the infant during the initial growth phase," said Knut-Olaf Haustein, MD, with the Institute for Nicotine Research and Smoking. "A smoking mother puts her child at considerable risk, not only of higher incidence of miscarriage, premature ablatio placentae (premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall prior to delivery), and reduced weight at birth, but also of deformities."

There are a number of harmful effects of smoking for women during pregnancy. Cigarettes produce almost 4,000 chemicals which affects the human. 60 of those chemicals have the potential to cause cancer. When a pregnant woman smoke the gases inhaled gets absorbed in the blood. The worst part is the babies only source of oxygen is the mother's blood. And if the blood gets contaminated with nicotine and carbon monoxide it can adversely affect the baby. Premature birth is one of the common examples of adverse effects of smoking.
