Does smoking affect children?

Patient's question:

I've been married for over a year. Due to work reasons, I originally planned to have a child next year. However, due to various circumstances, we have unintentionally become parents now. Last month, I both smoked and had a bit of alcohol, and now my wife and I are very anxious, unsure if we should keep the child and whether there are any issues. I urgently need experts to help me alleviate my worries!!!!!!!!!!(Note: I don't drink much, and I smoke about six or seven cigarettes a day)

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during the period of preparing for pregnancy, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, which often has no impact on the child. Because, generally speaking, the influence of certain things or drugs on the child mainly comes from the fact that if a woman uses something she shouldn't after becoming pregnant, it might have an effect. Men generally do not have any problems. Generally, doctors will advise patients who show signs of having a risk of poor fetal development to rest in bed and prohibit sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is also beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
