How does smoking affect the fetus?

This is an automatically translated article.


Some of the cigarette smoke inhaled by the mother can reach the fetus. Toxins from cigarette smoke will penetrate through the placenta.

The fetus is especially sensitive to the effects of nicotine in cigarette smoke, but has no defense against it. This is a real danger, as nicotine and toxins slow down fetal growth. The result can be premature or low birth weight babies.
