Some of ya'll need educated yourself. Of course its not good for you, however. No one knows why sids happens, it can happen if you dont smoke. Whst you need to remember is quitting st some point would be a good idea but going cold turkey is not how to do it. You can throw the baby into shock.  And enf up causing problems. Try every week cutting back a certain number, until done.  And like the other woman side. It doesn't make you a bad person or mommy

You asked a question that is ridiculous so don't be surprised that people answered you harshly. Of course smoking is bad for your baby and you. The ill effects of smoking have been known for a while.  A long while.

I quit smoking for myself,baby and my partner. I smoke for 10 years.i quit as soon as i found out i was preg at 9w im now 34w. U can do it too okay. Actually i found it easier to quit cos i had something to quit for. Risking ur baby health isnt worth it.my mum had 6 kids.she quit with all 5 who turned out healthy . But smoked when she carryed my sista. My sista has bad asma.she has to be careful while doing fitness incase she had a asma acttack.be smokefree for ur baby and longer life x

Its not the best for the baby but i was smoking,a pack a day when i found out i was pregnant with my son and was told by my doctor i had to slowly quit otherwise it would cause more harm to myself and my unborn child.. I quit three months later and he was born a week late and 8lbs 9oz :) .. I also had a friend who smoked on and off through out her pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby girl with no medical issues... There is alot that is unhealthy to the baby but ppl still do them anyway... Try to quit or minimally use its your choice and doesn't make you a bad person or  mom :)

If you're asking this, you REALLY need to educated yourself on pregnancy. I suggest going to a local health clinic and talking to someone there.

nooooo! not at all!!!!!! they can cause low birth weight, cleft lip, an early birth. there are so many terrible probabilities its not worth it to even take the chance . i know a girl  that smoked cigarrettes her entire pregnancy because she craved so she thought it ok and  shes lucky that her son came out healthy but i was beyond pissed off. craving or not its not an excuse and its a terrible thing to put your child through!

No, like above said, and also read the SIDS guidelines regarding a smoke-free environment.

No, it's not. Your baby can be born with asthma problems and low birth weight. I know those are 2 of the main problems. You can do a little more research online about it though.
