When your baby is born it might not be able to smell or hear if you smoke

ANSWER

that above answer makes no sense.

Smoking while breastfeeding can harm your baby. when you smoke the arteries to your heart enclose making it difficult for oxygen to get through, the same happens to your umbilical cord, smoking can cause important nutrients from reaching your baby. smoking can cause premature birth and smaller babies. many babies born to heavy smokers have difficulty breathing. everything you drink eat and breathe while pregnant can go through your umbilical cord to your baby.
