Does pregnant women smoking have any effect on the fetus?

Tar and other ingredients in tobacco have a significant stimulating effect on the human central nervous system. When we are very tired, tobacco and coffee still have a significant helping effect in improving the fluid regulation of our central nervous system, but such forced energy is very harmful to the human body. So, what are the major effects of smoking during pregnancy on the fetus?

Does pregnant women smoking have a big impact on the fetus?

1. Pregnant women smoking will also accelerate the fetal heart rate and reduce breathing activities. The tar and other harmful substances in the cigarette can also penetrate into the embryo through the blood, be transported to the fetus, and even cause damage to the immature internal organs.

2. Smoking increases the incidence of congenital malformations in the fetus. Data show that the number of babies born to smoking mothers with birth defects is 23 times that of non-smoking mothers. Smokers are 2.5 times more likely to cause fetal malformations such as anencephaly, cleft palate, cleft lip, dementia, and physical growth retardation.

3. Smoking causes a high incidence of congenital heart disease in babies. Smoking has a great impact on the fetus. Scientific studies have found that typical carcinogens caused by cigarettes were found in the urine of children born to smoking women. The fetus digests and absorbs tobacco tar through the umbilical cord and converts it into carcinogens in the liver, which are eventually eliminated from the body through the kidneys, thus damaging the fetus's liver, kidneys and lungs.

We all know and agree that smoking is harmful to our health, but when the harm of smoking has not yet occurred to them directly, many smokers are still unable to make up their minds to quit smoking and drinking. However, the harm of smoking is long-term for adults, but it is very direct for cells and fetuses.
