I can find no specific information on this topic in the Cochrane database but I'm concerned about any pregnancy with any second hand smoke. Besdies that, I'm concerned about any baby being exposed to anyone who is a "constant marijuana user".

I'm concerned about the "born" child as well.

Constant marijuana use denotes the need for counsellling ...... now.
