  • With so many dangers linked with smoking, you and
    the unborn kids of pregnant smokers are at risk.
    Tobacco poisons enter an expecting mother's
    circulation and travel straight to the placenta.
    It has the potential to permanently impair the
    unborn baby's eye. Strabismus is a typical side
    effect of smoking in pregnant women. This impact
    stops the optic nerve from developing, which
    causes blindness in youngsters.
