Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, as well as other negative outcomes such as low birth weight, premature birth, and respiratory problems. While smoking may also increase the risk of some physical deformities and heart defects, the strongest association is with SIDS. Defective reflexes may also be a possible outcome, but it is not as strongly linked to maternal smoking as the other options.
