This disease was first discovered by Dr. Hienrak van Schäfer in Germany of 1864. When a cannon fired a cannonball, his cousin was near it and was exposed to carbon monoxide. He died four months later with major heart attacks and seizures. When Dr. van Schäfer did an autopsy on his cousin, he discoverd that the carbon monoxide had spread into his lungs, heart, and in his blood. This reaction also caused more carbon dioxide to be in the blood and other major organs. This disease happens to people whose birth mother had a smoking problems and it is rare. It happens to 250 people every 100 years.
How do cigarettes effect pregnancy?
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.

How does smoking affect developing babies?
When adults drink, our liver does a really good job of cleaning it out of our system. Unfortunately, a fetus does not yet have a fully developed liver, and as it shares its blood supply with the mother - cannot process the alcohol, causing damage to their internal organs [which are only just started to develop.] Smoking is worse for a child. Though some may believe it is all the chemicals...the real problem lies with the Carbon monoxide that comes with smoking. The blood prefers to carbon monoxide over oxygen... A developing fetus has different blood cells than ours, and its blood is more likely to stick to carbon monoxide [which is deadly and poisonous.] So...essentially, when a pregnant woman smokes...they're depriving their baby of oxygen.
