Put it this way not all women know they're pregnant the first 2-3mnths or even longer as they don't get symptoms or still have periods but when find out sooner the better to give up. Know some who smoked throughout & babies healthy but not everyone's lucky

I was told not to stop cold to ease your self like 2 a day then 1 a day then none bc the bby can be addicted. And it could stress bby out. Just what I was told by my doc.

Ur baby should be fine. I read in a pregnancy book that it doesn't really matter too much if u smoke tobacco or even pot before u find out. as long as u stop baby won't be at any risk because of it .

If continued then yes the toxins will make baby sick... technically. But I know mothers who have smoke all the way to birth and I myself smoke until I was 5mths. My daughter and their kids are healthy thus far, but I will never give the green light, just my story.
