Be Around People who Smoke Everyone knows that smoking is not a safe activity, especially during pregnancy. Many are now coming to the realization that second-hand smoke can be detrimental as well. But does it have any effect on an unborn fetus? Studies show that it does. In fact being around people who smoke can be nearly as hazardous for your baby as if you were the one smoking.

Recent studies show that cancer-causing chemicals present in cigarette smoke pass through the blood of pregnant women through the placenta. These chemicals can cause genetic changes and were found in umbilical cord blood of the babies studied. The long tem effect of second-hand smoke on unborn babies is unknown. It is currently being studied. When you are pregnant, it is best to play it safe and avoid areas where people are smoking.
