A woman who does anything knowingly to cause potential harm to her child she is a pathetic individual who should have never put her self in a position to get pregnant in the first place. You would be hard pressed to find anything more harmful to a developing fetus then ingesting thousands of carcinogens and chemicals.

First of all, smoking is an addiction, so while it's certainly bad, it's not as easy to stop as many think. It's a drug, not something they do for fun to harm their unborn. Knowingly, yes, willingly no. Second, there are things MUCH more harmful, e.g. alcohol, even in smallest doses it is more harmful than smoking.
I'm not here to defend smoking, but if I have a look at how some people treat their children, how they neglegt them, how they beat them up, then smoking while pregnant is just one of many problems and certainly not the worst one, which is domestic violence.
