    Which of the following is an effect of cigarette on a pregnant woman

    • Weakness

    • Headache

    • Hunger

    • Fetal abnormalities

    Correct Answer
    A. Fetal abnormalities
    Explanation
    Cigarette smoking during pregnancy can lead to various fetal abnormalities. The harmful chemicals in cigarettes, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, can restrict the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the developing fetus, resulting in growth restriction, low birth weight, and premature birth. Smoking during pregnancy also increases the risk of birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate, heart defects, and developmental delays. Therefore, fetal abnormalities are an effect of cigarette smoking on a pregnant woman.
