Hello ma'am and welcome.

Smoking during pregnancy results in the hinderance of proper growth and development of the fetus. But if you only had one cigarette, then I do not think there is much to worry about.

Please avoid smoking, as it can do more harm to your baby than good to you.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
