Is smoking dangerous in pregnancy? I just heard the following news: Pregnant Australian teens are taking up smoking to make their babies SMALL http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3637700/Pregnant-Australian-teens-taking-smoking-make-babies-SMALL-scared-labour.html

Hi, sorry the link you provided is broken so I cannot read the article but yes, smoking is bad. It is bad for anybody's general health, I cannot imagine it being any safer for a pregnant woman and a growing developing foetus. It can cause miscarriages, stunt foetus' growth and cause all sorts of problems (the list is endless).

Cigarette smoke contains more than 3,000 different chemicals that can potentially harm humans, and one of the main components of cigarette smoke is carbon monoxide, a known fetal toxin. It is extremely dangerous and all pregnant women need to quit this habit.

Ofcourse! Even if only the smoke is inhaled it's also dangerous..  

What?????? Even second hand smoke is really bad......
