My very good friend is pregnant 9 week, she is a smoker too and she doesn’t want to quiet. I don’t know how to explain her that it is dangerous for her baby. Please can you tell what are all negative effects of smoking on baby, so that I can post her.

Yes, here is what I found for you to post her about negative effects of smoking during pregnancy. Maternal smoking during pregnancy has many consequences: fertility difficulties, obstetrical accidents such as extrauterine pregnancy, premature labour and early placenta detachment, intrauterine growth retardation; increased perinatal morbidity; increased susceptibility to respiratory diseases in infancy and childhood; increased rate of sudden infant death and alteration of cognitive development and behavioral disorder in childhood.
