It's not bad if you only have smoked one or two cigarettes, in fact, it is said that your body can handle four to five cigarettes a day. However I think that you can smoke sometimes, but if you do it to often, a cigarette everyday, it will damage your lungs. It is also not bad if you smoke on party's(and if you don't have a party every week).

Well you're not supposed to be smoking at all if pregnant because the carbon dioxide in the cigarettes means your blood carries less oxygen and if supporting you and a baby your unborn child may not get enough oxygen. Smoking in pregnancy can lead to a low birth weight for your baby, respiratory and neurological issues and can also put your baby at a higher risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
This said I'm 16 years old and my mum smoked 5 a day throughout her pregnancy with me and I'm perfectly healthy apart from having Asthma which was probably due more to the fact that it runs in my family than my mum smoking.
I smoked 20 a day myself and now suspect I may be pregnant but still can't find the motivation to cut down to less than 10 a day, so most likely people who will answer this telling you not to smoke have either not been pregnant and had to cut down or haven't smoked while pregnant and can't understand how hard it is to give up!!
Congrats and Good Luck with your pregnancy! Hope you have a happy healthy baby! x
just as bad as smoking a pack a day b/c it still goes directly to your baby......
There is very strong evidence that smoking harms the unborn baby. Although a small number of cigarettes may seem less of a risk, why find out with your own child?
Yes!!!! No offense but do you live under a rock? When you smoke, your baby smokes. Don't do that to a helpless human being.

Umm, is smoking bad? Yes. 1 per day? Worse. 2 per day? Well, in 1 year, thats 730 cigarettes. So yes, its bad.
