The average coffee contains 100 mg of caffeine. The average cigerette contains hundreds of different substances harmful to YOUR body and the fetus as well. While depending on what stage of pregnancy, cigarettes may cause more harm than coffee as nicotine is highly addictive. However, caffeine has a longer half-life than nicotine - being about half a dozen hours to a dozen hours. I advise to abstain from cigarette smoking while pregnant as it is morally incorrect and unethical. Personally, I am disgusted when seeing a pregnant woman with a cigarette. I feel sorry for the unborn baby. Please - All woman who read this, don't smoke while pregnant and save your baby's health.
