Dangerous to baby: I can't say if a drug test of the baby will be positive, but the impact on the baby's health will be negative. Upper and lower respiratory damage results from exposure. It's viewed as child abuse in some jurisdictions. The mother's use during pregnancy also did harm if it was the case. It'is serious and your friend needs to know the risks. You can't make her stop but she should. I hope she does!
