Smoking mothers affected children

May feel that smoking is a fashionable for women, perhaps in order to ease the pressure of work, today, many young women have started to smoke. However, the United Kingdom scientists recently released a study showed that pulmonary effects of maternal smoking on children would be permanent.

Study found that children born to smoking mothers after grown up, regardless of whether they smoke, their lungs than those of smaller children born to smoking mothers. What is more, if children born to smoking mothers is develop a smoking habit, they occur including emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk is also higher than ordinary people.

Researchers of 2000 men and women between the age of 30-50 conducted a study volunteer. These people are not living their parents have the habit of smoking. Therefore, researchers believe that when these guys are still in the matrix,, has been the impact of maternal smoking. Researchers said past research results have indicated that maternal smoking can cause neonatal weight is too low,

And have an adverse effect on the development of children. The study also shows that these effects can be gradually decreases as the child grows up. However, these studies did not impact on maternal smoking on children with lung will increase as the child ages, naturally weakened or disappear to make conclusions.

In this study, the researchers on the unborn persons affected by smoking mothers before lung volume examined. Found that these people\'s lungs volume, regardless of whether they smoke are smaller than ordinary people. Researchers say, this shows that pregnant women who smoke on children of the impact of the size of the lungs is permanent.

In addition, the studies also show that if mothers not only their own smoking, and the children also develop a habit of smoking when they grow up, then the child with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of many higher risks than ordinary people. For example, volunteers surveyed mothers smoke, coupled with their own smoking, cigarette smoking every day in the middle of more than 10 people in 70% of people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Researchers cautioned that these findings effectively stated that women must give up smoking before pregnancy or contemplate serious consequences to the lungs of a child development. In addition, the husband living in the same environment and should not be smoking, as will also bring adverse effects to the child\'s lungs.
