Is it dangerous for women to smoke during pregnancy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Definitely!: Yes. Yes. Yes, again. Besides maternal risks you have when not pregnant, the risks to baby are huge. Placental abruption, growth restriction and fetal death are not to be played with!

Yes it clearly is!: According to the centers for disease control & prevention- research shows that smoking during pregnancy is linked to premature births, babies with low birth weights & stillbirths, as well as sudden infant death syndrome. The mother’s health can also be compromised. See: http://www.Cdc.Gov/tobacco/basic_information/health_effects/pregnancy/.
