Cigarettes are harmful to the development of a fetus, because they create a degree of carbon monoxide poisoning in the mother, which reduces available oxygen to both mother and fetus, and because nicotine is also a vaso-constrictor, making blood vessels contract, thereby reducing blood flow to the fetus.
