Cigarette Smoke Can Affect Children's Behavior

[Guest guest]

The study conducted by German scientists said that the babies who are still in

the womb and the children at 1 year of age who are exposed to cigarette smoke

will be able to make a problem of their behavior during the school years later.

The study also published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

 

Greater risk will occur in children when they are in the womb who has been

exposed to cigarettes smoke because it will affect the behavior problems during

their childhood. The scientists revealed that the children in the womb for

mothers who smoke will have a 90 percent risk of abnormal behavior problems.

Whereas children after birth and exposed to cigarette smoke has a 30 percent

risk of their behavior problems.

 

Based on a list of questions that have been given by scientists to conduct

research has produced data that revealed a hyperactivity, attention deficit

disorder, and social interaction problems were due more because of the impact of

cigarette smoke than other factors such as external social and environmental

factors.

 

Seeing the risk of cigarette smoke is greater in children who were conceived by

pregnant mothers so the researchers suggest that mothers who are pregnant for

consideration so as not smoking for the sake of their children's future.

However, because of the environmental conditions as much as possible to avoid

environmental tobacco smoke. We know that the cigarette smoke is very

detrimental health for adults, can be imagined when it exposed to children or

infants.
