"Epidemiology and Community Health" has published a study that also proves that smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of deviations in the behaviour of the child, which occur by the age of 3 years old. The study involved 14,000 mothers with their children, born between 2000 and 2001, women were light and heavy smokers, and to evaluate the behavior of children is used a standardized questionnaire. Doctors ' attention has been directed towards the detection of symptoms, talking about hyperactive attention deficit syndrome. It turned out that boys whose mothers had smoked during pregnancy tend to be hyperactive and unsustainable attention twice more often than children whose mothers had not smoked. Women nonsmokers enjoyed the kids with a calm character and temperament . This is because studies on animals have proven that smoking during pregnancy can harm the developing structures and functions of the brain of the fetus. Boys are more sensitive to the poisons contained in tobacco smoke than girls.
