All the things about smoking that hurt you (the mother) hurt the baby. The babies heart and lungs will be affected greatly. If you are a heavy smoker and the baby actually survives birth (most pregnant smokers give still-births*), the child will suffer from a weak heart resulting in many circulation issues accompanied with an increased risk of heart failure. The babies lungs will start out rotten and tar filled, resulting in easy infections, asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, and countless other respiratory problems. The baby is most likely to be born underweight and will have to be incubated, a terrifying thing for any mother. The child has a high chance of being born with an addiction to nicotine (like is babies born to crack or heroin addicts), radically increasing the chances that the child itself will become a smoker.
Once again, what hurts you hurts the baby. You may smoke after the baby is born however second hand smoking is one of the leading causes of addiction and lung cancer in the United States.
There are hundreds of different chemicals found in a cigarette, none of them good. A woman who smokes while pregnant is putting her baby's health and safety at risk. Smoking during pregnancy can result in:
-Increased risk of miscarriage
-Increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
-Premature birth
-Low birth weight
-Behavioral problems (i.e., hyperactivity)
-Reduced verbal and mathematical ability
AND LOTS MORE

Smoking has harmful chemicals called nicotine and carbon monoxide. These chemicals make the mother's blood less able to carry oxygen and food to the baby.
When You Smoke During Pregnancy

YES smoking harms a fetus, it can cause very low birth weight, miscarriages, and birth defects, if you are pregnant and are smoking you should stop immediately, if you need help quitting talk with your doctor he/she can help
It is certainly going to harm the fetus. A expecting mom who smoking may have a child who has a low shipping bodyweight. Low shipping bodyweight and being created too small is a significant cause of baby sickness and perinatal loss of life.
So i suggest to all expecting mums to quit smoking.

Smoking
No, spaying does not in any way inhibit growth and is actually very beneficial to the dog's health.
The uterus grow to make room for the fetus. A fetus that doesn't grow - no growth of the uterus.
A fetus is another name for an unborn baby, and growth is how it gets bigger.
inhibit bacterial growth
yes
Smoking prevents blood from reaching the fetus, making it more difficult for the baby to get essential nutrients.
No.
Isopropyl alcohol is used to inhibit bacterial growth because it acts as a disinfectant. This kills the bacteria and prevent them from multiplying.
The dyes (eosin Y and methylene blue) inhibit the growth of gram- positive bacteria.
It can cause harm to the fetus. I had a miscarriage from smoking.
Under most circumstances nitrates encourage the growth of algae. Strangely, in some heavily planted tanks with high CO2 levels, higher nitrates seem to inhibit the growth of algae.
