Smoking during pregnancy can affect the fetus in several harmful ways, but one way it does **not** affect the fetus is by enhancing its growth and development.
In fact, smoking is associated with negative outcomes, including:
1. **Low birth weight**: Babies born to mothers who smoke are more likely to be underweight.
2. **Preterm birth**: Smoking increases the risk of premature labor and delivery.
3. **Placental issues**: Smoking can lead to problems with the placenta, including placental abruption or placenta previa.
4. **Birth defects**: There is a higher risk of certain congenital abnormalities, such as cleft lip or palate.
So, if the question is asking which outcome is **not** a result of smoking during pregnancy, it would be improved growth or development of the fetus.
