Q: How Does Smoke Effect the Development of Your Baby?

I have a problem with my supervisor smoking in the office. I want to know how bad that is for my baby. I have reported him to the building manager, but they have not responded yet. My desk is right by his office, and the smell of the smoke makes my sick. My chest tightens up, and it is hard for my to breathe. What should I do? And how will this effect my baby? Question

Of course it is not good for you to be around smoke but i'm sure it has a lot less effect on your baby than if you smoked yourself. I found this website for you (see below). I hope that it helps.

i wish you all the luck in fighting your boss with the smoking thing. He/she should have more respect for you and your baby than to smoke around you while you are pregnant!!
