Yes, it can.. You're supposed to stop smoking before you fall pregnant if you're planning a baby.

i have heard it does affect the baby's growth. If you are pregnant and you have a baby , stop smoking.

YES! My first baby was born three months early and had to live in the NICU for three months. He was on a breathing machine and had he still been in the womb and had I been a smoker, it would be like pumping nicotine in that machine rather than oxygen. I honestly don't know how people can do that to their poor, innocent babies!

Definitly! You're supposed to quite before getting pregnant, but if you didn't already quite then the best thing to do is to cut back.

I don't think you should smoke while pregnant. I quit when I found out I was preggo.

Smoking during pregnancy causes the child to have a lower birth weight, among many other complications, which can be very dangerous for a baby. Its lungs and heart is forming, and smoking messes all of that up.
