I am doing a report for my english class on smoking during pregnancy. Any ideas on where I might find some good, RELIABLE sources? TIA

check out your state's health department website. Look for pregnancy and for smoking. Then just do a google on both (pregnancy + smoking).
Smoking decreases circulation. Pregnancy puts greater demands on circulation. A smoking mom puts herself at risk for strokes and heart attacks. And then there is the baby----
