thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....
see first of all, your condition is called as placenta previa....it has got some degrees of severity...for type 1 and type 2 anterior, the risks are lower than the rest of the types...risks are mostly bleeding and pre-term labour...
the risk factors are many....like previous uterine fibroid, or operations in uterus, older age of pregnancy, smoking etc....quitting smoking might not help placenta get back to normal position, but it may stop many other complications....so please stop smoking....
hope this was helpful...
regards
