Smoking during pregnancy harms the fetus, newborn infant, young child, and mother. Smoking during the last two trimesters greatly increases the risk of stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, premature delivery, neonatal death, and low birth weight. Risk is in direct proportion to cigarette smoke exposure.
