Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Smoking during pregnancy has implications that go beyond harming maternal health. There are so many harms to fetal health that we justify saying that the fetus is a real active smoker.

Smoking in pregnancy is responsible for 25% of cases of low birth weight fetuses, 8% of premature births and 5% of all perinatal deaths. Studies show that smoking in pregnancy can contribute to the sudden death syndrome of the baby, as well as causing important changes in the development of the fetal nervous system. Economic estimates indicate that the costs of perinatal complications are 66% higher for mothers who smoked during pregnancy than for non-smokers.
