For so many years now we have know that smoking while pregnant is not healthy, but smoking has been a part of our lives, regardless of whether we smoke or not. And for that it has been a detrimental factor in everybody's lives; sad to say, that includes the unborn babies. Surveys show that many mothers are still smoking while pregnant. They contend that it does not affect their baby at all. In most instances, these are the mothers that do not care for their unborn child, because if they did they would know that smoking poses great danger during pregnancy. They would know that it is currently one of the major causes of infant deaths in our society today. If your smoking while pregnant, you are more likely to birth a child who is underweight. Low birth weight babies are at greater risk for childhood and adult illnesses and even death.

Basically, cigarette smoke alone is full of chemicals, some studies even state it has more than 2,500 chemicals. **End Summary** Topics: smoking while pregnant]]> smoking]]> babies]]> pregnant]]> pregnancy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Eliminates All Cravings For Nicotine.
