When pregnant women smoke, the fetus is deprived of oxygen and other nutrients. Some of the detrimental effects of this include, miscarriage, stillbirth, deficits in intellectual ability and behavioral problems, and reduced lung function in the baby.
As for second hand smoke exposure, more research is needed before the full effects can be determined. The best chance for a healthy pregnancy and baby is when pregnant women are not exposed to any tobacco smoke.
