I quit smoking cold turkey, at 15 weeks pregnant i'm now to week 17 i have placenta previa will not smoking help it to move?

Hopefully: Congratulations on stopping unfortunately, the placenta previa may have been caused by your smoking. I'm not aware of research re: your question, but my best guess is that not smoking is likely to increase the chances that the placenta will move. Not smoking will certainly benefit your baby in many other ways as well. See http://pregnancy.About.Com/cs/smokingpregnanc/a/aa111998.Htm.
