Prenatal smoking tied to worse asthma in kids

Smoking during pregnancy is already a big no-no, but besides the normal risks of low birthweight, miscarriage and deformities, the risk of developing asthma later in life severely increases. It is still only a correlation backed by a study of low income families, but they did do direct research on animals. Bottom line is, do not smoke when you are pregnant, your hurting yourself as well as another life.
