Effects of maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy on long-term physical and cognitive parameters of child development

Article Abstract:

A review of literature was conducted regarding the negative impact of maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy on long-term physical and cognitive development of the child. Past researches revealed that the effects of prenatal exposure to smoking on children's physical development are mediated by a dose-response relationship. The long-term effects observed were small and may have no major functional importance.
