Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.
Smoking during pregnancy affects your and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born. The nicotine (the addictive substance in cigarettes), carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, and numerous other poisons you inhale from a cigarette are carried through your bloodstream and go directly to your baby. Smoking while pregnant will:
<span>Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing babyIncrease your baby's heart rate<span>Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth</span>Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weightIncrease your baby's risk of developing respiratory problems</span>
The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. There is no "safe" level of smoking for your baby's health.

Your venous system includes the blood vessels that carry blood back to your heart. The exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between your blood and tissues also happens in your capillaries.
