Best Answer

If you smoke during pregnancy it is very likely that your child will be extremely hyperactive and have ADHD. Cigarette smoke contains many poisonous substances, but studies have shown that this hyperactivity is caused by carbon monoxide building up in the baby's blood stream. This reduces the oxygen that reaches the baby and causes many problems in development.

Smoking during pregnancy is very dangerous for the fetus. While in the womb, the fetus is getting nutrients from its mother. When the mother smokes, she is exposing her baby to dangerous toxins.
