maternal smoking
,
Tobacco is absolutely
against-indicated in pregnancy by the extremely serious repercussions it may
have on the fetus.
Women who smoke often have babies
smaller than normal weight (200 to 300 g less on average).
This is due to poor oxygenation of
the fetus and zinc deficiency (cadmium from tobacco smoke captures the zinc in
the placenta).
That fetal growth retardation is
often associated with significant disorders in education (educational
backwardness very common and very late net intellectual apprenticeship).
If the mother smokes more than 20
cigarettes per day, a teratogenic risk exists (possible fetal malformations).
Moreover, it seems demonstrated that
women smokers are much more likely to have children with behavioral problems,
sometimes very serious, like fire, to become responsible for vandalism,
physical cruelty, sexual coercion and flights (American study by Dr. Wakshiag
Chicago).
Changes in the functioning of the
nervous children might be related to a change in the uptake of SEROTONIN and
the synthesis of DNA and RNA (see these terms) in the brains of these children
of smoking mothers
It was also shown that children of
smoking mothers have a much higher risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and
cancer development when they have over fifty.
Finally there is evidence that women who smoke
have a much higher risk of developing ectopic pregnancy at the time of ovum
fertilization.
