Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are pregnant since 10 weeks and you smoke as smoking during pregnancy could affect fetus throughout the pregnancy since first to last month. It can cause growth problem in fetus. It will lower down immunity of your body as well as that of incoming fetus and susceptibility to certain infectious diseases. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to stop it immediately. It could result in low birth weight babies, miscarriage, abortion. You should take plenty of fluids and wheat grass as well to detoxify it as early as possible. If it is giving you much addiction taper the dose and eventually stop. If after baby birth you will start having it again it will reach by milk and will stay in baby system and will start giving adverse effects.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
