Smoking is injurious to health!! We know it is not anything new for you and that it is a well known fact and known to all, who smoke or who do not smoke.
One has to make his own choice. But before you make your choice, you must consider your wife if she is expecting your child. A partner should never smoke in front of his spouse who is pregnant, whether it is the first trimester of pregnancy or the last one; you need to be cautious throughout her pregnancy. Smoking is injurious to the health of the expecting mother as well as the baby, be it a smoke directly inhaled or through passive smoking.
Though chain smoking among women is not much prevalent in India as in other countries but women here, face a lot of passive smoke dangers.
