What are the effects of smoking during pregnancy on the baby?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Smoking during pregnancy affects the healthy development of infants and young children. Air pollution increases the incidence of pneumonia and bronchitis in infants and young children. Children exposed to smoke have delayed physical development, are more prone to restlessness and crying, and infants' poor appetite and abdominal pain are also related to maternal smoking. It also affects children's brain development.
