Can Partners Smoking Affect Mother and Baby?
Some research indicates a nonsmoker and her unborn baby are exposed to carboxyhemoglobin and nicotine through secondary smoke. These substances may harm you and your baby. Ask your partner to stop smoking while you are pregnant. You might suggest he quit smoking altogether. At the very least, ask him not to smoke around you or in the home. It’s also a good idea to avoid smoky environments such as bars.
