Will a pregnant smokers baby be born addicted to nicotine?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) October 15th, 2010

Today, I see more and more pregnant women smoking, while pregnant. Isn’t this causing harm to their unborn child? Also, will the children of a pregnant woman that smokes, be addicted to nicotine (cigarettes)? My wife did not smoke during her two pregnancies. Our children do not smoke and hate cigarettes. Question: Is there a connection between the mother smoking, while pregnant, and her children born addicted to nicotine(cigarettes)?
