As far as the pregnant woman is realized the effects and considered, the damages will take place instantaneously due to the vulnerability of her body. The poisons which can be found in babies’ saliva and urine are nicotine, carbon monoxide and various chemicals.

The developing babies had less oxygen, which could harm development. An unborn baby’s organs, such as its heart and lungs, are immature and smaller in a pregnant woman who smokes.

Fatwa. Strictly NO Compromise.

Conversely, there’re many instances where the Qur'an gives us general guidelines, and calls upon us to use our reason and intelligence, and seek guidance from Allah s.w.t. about what is right and wrong. Islamic scholars use their knowledge and judgment to make new legal rulings (fatwa). In the Qur'an, Allah s.w.t says,

“...he [the Prophet] commands them what is just, and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good, and prohibits them from what is bad..." (Qur'an 7:157).

Dangers of tobacco use have come to be proven beyond any doubt, scholars have become more unanimous in pronouncing tobacco use clearly HARAM to believers. They now use the strongest terms to condemn this habit. In view of the harm caused by tobacco, growing, trading in and smoking of tobacco are judged to be haram (forbidden).

The Prophet s.a.w, is reported to have said,
'Do not harm yourselves or others.'

Furthermore, tobacco is unwholesome, and God says in the Qur'an that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 'enjoins upon them that which is good and pure, and forbids them that which is unwholesome'
(Permanent Committee of Academic Research and Fatwa, Saudi Arabia)

Is smoking Permitted in Islam?

Islamic scholars have been historically had mixed views about tobacco, and until now, there has not been a clear, unanimous fatwa (legal opinion) which to allow or forbid cigarette smoking.

Those mixed views on the subject came about because cigarettes are a more recent invention and did not exist at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an in the 7th century A.D. Therefore, one can’t find a verse of Qur'an, or words of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w (peace be upon him), saying clearly that "cigarette smoking is forbidden."
