PREGNANCY

Passive smoking during pregnancy occurs in a different way, because the baby receives the effects of the smoking by-products through the mother’s bloodstream. If a mother smokes, there is an increased likelihood of miscarriage, stillbirth, death and illness during infancy. In addition, physical growth and mental development will be impaired.
