Smoking and pregnancy

According to researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, nearly 50% of pregnant women who smoke will quit during their pregnancies, but more than half of those will start smoking again after they give birth.

 

Not only is smoking harmful for new mothers, but their babies could also be exposed to dangerous secondhand smoke or thirdhand smoke which is left on clothing, furniture, curtains and there surfaces.
