Just two days after confirming she is pregnant with her fifth child, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak was spotted brazenly puffing away on a cigarette in an Atlanta suburb on June 27.
And it wasn't the first time. Kim, 35, was also photographed smoking in the early days of her pregnancy, during a family vacation to Destin, Florida, over Memorial Day weekend.
Kim has always been a notorious "chain smoker," her former publicist previously told RadarOnline.com. But according to the CDC, smoking during pregnancy can cause premature birth, low-birth-weight infants, stillbirth or miscarriage, sudden infant death syndrome, long-term lung damage to the baby, and even adolescent hearing loss years later.
