A member asked:

Worried about second hand smoke. im 11 wks pregnant and we were at a park having a picnic. this group of people kept smoking!! is my baby ok??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wouldn't be worried: You face similar exposures in almost any urban setting from a variety of air pollutants, known or unknown. While it is good to avoid smoking and 2nd hand exposure it will have little to no effect on baby.
