Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smoking during lactation is not a known cause of congenital anomalies. Congenital anomalies are structural or functional anomalies that occur during intrauterine life and can be identified prenatally, at birth, or later in life. They are caused by factors such as genetic disorders, infectious diseases in the mother during pregnancy, and exposure to teratogens during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy is a known risk factor for congenital anomalies, but smoking during lactation, while harmful to the baby in other ways, is not a direct cause of congenital anomalies.
