Cigarette smoke contains over 2,000 chemicals (after the combustion of the ingredients in cigarettes)–some of which are known to be dangerous to a developing baby, and many others may have consequences that we are just unsure of. It is estimated that if all women stopped smoking during pregnancy that there would be an 11% drop in stillbirths and a 5% reduction in the death of newborns with conditions that were related to their mother’s cigarette use.

smoking is really bad, every time i smoke the next day phlegm builds up in my throat, so i've stopped smoking for a long time since. i believe everyone should, there are plenty of negative effects in smoking and it is looked down upon by a lot of people, i really find it annoying when i see people smoke, especially when there are children around like on the streets, also those that throw their cigarette butts just around anywhere, damn these polluters

Very simply, and now known to all, inhaling smoke from any substance is bad for a body. In addition to the incredibly damaging cardiovascular and related effects, smoking (tobacco or marijuana) is by far one of the most impacting lifestyle variables when it comes to fertility.

The situation concerning tobacco use and its present and future impact in the Pacific islands requires urgent attention. Many lifestyle changes have been adopted with improvement in health, but tobacco poses as great a challenge in the Pacific as ever.The percentage of survivors is higher for both smokers and non-smokers. However, the consequences of tobacco use are just as evident. Among women who were aged 45 in 1995, about 70% of non-smokers will survive to the age of 80, compared with only about 40% of those who smoked.
