Can smoking cigarets show in the placenta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of: Smoking can cause constriction of small blood vessels. In a pregnant woman, this causes lower blood flow to the placenta, which can cause baby to be small. If you are pregnant or wanting to get pregnant, take this opportunity to stop smoking now!
