SHOULD parents who smoke do not sleep in the same room with their babies. Therefore, the nicotine content of cigarettes attached to the skin or clothing can be dangerous to the health of the baby.
Researchers conducted a study in Catalonia, Spain. The study highlights the effects of tobacco smoke in infants and is associated with a private room. They also interviewed the parents of 1123 infants under the age of 18 months.
After doing the analysis, hair samples in 252 infants contain nicotine. The baby was sleeping with parents who smoke in one room. Levels are even three times higher than babies who sleep apart from parents smokers.
"Being a second-hand smoke is a major cause of child mortality in developed countries," said Guadalupe Ortega, principal investigator, recently. Ortega also added ventilation bedroom may not be effective in reducing levels of toxins in secondhand smoke exposure
Smoke Damaged Child Mental Health
Children who inhale passive smoke are more likely to struggle with mental health problems.
In a massive study on children in Britain were urging parents to stop smoking. "Or at least blow away cigarette smoke outside the home," said the researcher.
But it is unclear whether tobacco smoke is really a direct effect on the brains of children, or there are other things that affect.
"We know that exposure to cigarette smoke associated with many physical health problems in children, although not yet explored the mental health side," said lead researcher Mark Hamer of University College London told Reuters Health via e-mail.
