Tobacco is not only negatively affects the mother’s lungs, it also prevents the penetration of oxygen and nutrients through the placenta to the unborn baby. Of course, the baby will be underweight, weak and with apparent irregularities in the development of the central and peripheral nervous system, and the baby will be behind the peers and it is the smoking mother’s fault. But there can be a lack of food and oxygen starvation which lead to preterm delivery. And the prospective mother can not only lose the child, but also she will not be able to have children at all. Even moderate smoking does not exclude the possibility of rejection of the placenta, and the active smoking increases it by 65%. Ultrasound shows the abnormalities in the development and location of the placenta in absolutely all smoking pregnant women.

There is no acceptable portion for pregnant women because it increases the risk of premature termination of pregnancy, and high doses of alcohol cause different abnormalities of the unborn child.
