Stop smoking for the next generation.

Stop smoking for the next generation. BJOG. 2020 Jun 03;: Authors: Wang W, Duan T Abstract Pregnancy provides optimal opportunities for health promotion and disease prevention. Smoking before and during pregnancy is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Concerns over the risks of smoking motivate many pregnant smokers to quit. However, most of their partners continue to smoke throughout pregnancy. More than one-third (35%) of men in the world smoke, and just over 6% of women do (Ritchie et al. Published online at OurWorldInData.org 2020). The impact of paternal smoking, second-hand or third-hand smoking on the perinatal health is largely overlooked. Given the vast majority of studies focusing on the pregnant smokers, less is known about paternal smoking on their future children. PMID: 32490562 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
