fetus.jpg (3511 bytes)

The good news is that we know that women who are able to quit smoking during the pregnancy, especially by the fourth month, are able to reduce the damage to the fetus to the level of the nonsmoker. Quitting smoking is never easy, but many pregnant women develop a distaste for smoking which makes quitting easier.
