Smoking puts thousands of toxins straight into the blood, it doesn't have anything to do with the baby "breathing". Nicotine narrows the blood vessels, including those in the umbilical cord, disrupting the supply of oxygen to the baby and affecting growth and development. Smoking while you're pregnant is seriously stupid.

You saved me posting Liv. Cig smoke also contains numerous chemicals known to cause cancer. Stupid indeed.

I agree and drinking is just as bad.
