Objective To use biological methods in the placenta, amniotic fluid and fetal blood detected since nicotine and cotinine, passive smoking may lead to fetal growth and development, was able to confirm this assertion. Analysis of randomized control method derived hazards of passive smoking on children is no smoking in children several times. The results of passive smoking may cause fetal growth severely affected children may lead to low birth weight, premature children, bronchus and lung hypoplasia, respiratory infections, reduce lung function, asthma, otitis media and children with cognitive disorders. Conclusions on children and young people caused by passive smoking nicotine addiction has become a public health impact of one of the major social problems, should attract the attention of the whole society, it should encourage pregnant women and families with children smoking.

Through the use of biological techniques in the placenta, amniotic fluid and fetal blood detected since nicotine and cotinine, passive smoking may lead to fetal growth and development, this assertion has been confirmed. These include: children with low birth weight, premature children, bronchus and lung hypoplasia, respiratory infections, reduce lung function, asthma, otitis media and children with cognitive disorders. In addition, the perinatal mortality rate also increased significantly. Its impact not only the fetus and the neonatal period, and the different ages of children can be involved, the progress of research in recent years will now report as follows.

A nicotine concentration in maternal blood, half-life and toxicity of the fetus

1.1 nicotine concentration in maternal blood studies confirmed that active or passive smoking can be the mother of the toxic components of tobacco pass through the placenta into the amniotic fluid and fetal blood. Maternal nicotine in the blood very quickly reach the breast milk, its concentration and the number of the inhaled nicotine. Daily smoking more, breast milk contains nicotine and cotinine concentration increased. Their urine, saliva nicotine and cotinine levels has increased.

1.2 half-life of nicotine on the fetal toxicity of nicotine in plasma half-life <2h, and cotinine half-life of approximately 20h. Therefore, breast-feeding mothers smoking or passive smoking on children will have serious implications. American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Drugs research confirmed that smoking mothers breastfeeding their children with blood and urine can be measured nicotine and cotinine, and can make it happen, vomiting, diarrhea, tachycardia, irritability and even shock . Smoking can also reduce the mother milk. Therefore, breast-feeding mothers should stop smoking, to avoid the damage of passive smoking on children.

2 passive smoking on fetal growth and development

Smoking can slow fetal growth, and prone to premature Erzhi lower birth weight. Study confirmed that non-smoking women, poor rates of fetal growth (IUGR) may be decreased because of increased maternal age; while smokers in the IUGR but with The higher age of the mother. Women over 35 years of age, smokers on fetal growth and development of risk than non-smoking women up to 5 times; and young pregnant women, the risk of the impact of less than 2 times. Maternal age and smoking and maternal smoking under the age of 25, compared with preterm labor and low birth weight children’s opportunities. Animal experiments have confirmed that the mice were born with fetal mortality rate of passive smoking was significantly higher (11.9%; 2.8%, P <0.001), lower birth weight also (P <0.001).

3 of passive smoking on respiratory function

The development of childhood respiratory tract and respiratory function in closely related with smoking parents, and maternal smoking on their children than fathers smoking more dangerous. Domestic research reported passive smoking in children with recurrent respiratory tract infections caused by the increasing proportion; experiment was conducted to 114 cases of children smoking, passive smoking with recurrent respiratory tract infections; 40 patients with recurrent respiratory tract infection without smoking or passive smoking history and 60 healthy controls, the 3 groups were analyzed, and found that smoking and passive smoking in children whose cellular immunity and humoral immunity were significantly lower than the control group (P <0.01), especially in lower passive smoking group. Smoking may cause lower respiratory function in children, respiratory diseases, and increase the proportion of increase, and when parents quit smoking with respiratory diseases have been alleviated. So that the mother’s smoking and childhood asthma attack prevalence, age of onset and length of hospitalization were relations. That the increased incidence of asthma in children and the low age of onset were associated with maternal smoking.

4, the relationship between passive smoking and disease in children

4.1 and allergic diseases in a number of studies have shown that babies in the passive smoking increase the level of serum IgE, skin test-positive rate of pollen higher age of occurrence of respiratory disease in children than in non-smoking environment, age of onset was earlier. And children born of mothers smoking during pregnancy occurs the risk of allergic diseases than children born to mothers smoking during pregnancy increased more than 2 times. In other studies show that even if the parents had no history of allergic diseases, smoking during pregnancy the mother of their children born within 18 months after the occurrence of asthma, eczema, urticaria or food allergy risk to the mother during pregnancy than non-smoking 4 times higher than children of the same age. The study shows smokers during pregnancy can also occur even if the low-risk infants allergic diseases, which may be related to mucosal damage caused by passive smoking were so easy to invade the foreign body.

Although passive than active smoking risk is small, but most people affected by passive smoking damage to other harmful than the surrounding factors such as soot, dust, vehicle exhaust and so much more damage.

4.2 The relationship between the mother and children with cancer, their smoking or passive smoking in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s disease and the risk of renal embryonic tumors than the control group more than 2 times higher. National data indicate that adult lung cancer and childhood exposure to passive smoking, soot, cooking and other factors have obvious links, and lung cancer risk with increased exposure to risk factors increased (χ 2 = 19.01, P <0.01) . Few studies suggest that fathers of children suffering from smoking rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma and brain tumor risk than non-smokers, the father of 1.5 to 2.5 times higher. The mechanism of the father smoking, the mother affect the fetus caused by passive smoking Er Shi. Some research suggests that mothers in the first 3 months of pregnancy smoking, their children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma risk by 3 times. The results suggest that parents and children may suffer from smoking related cancer.

5 of smoking behavior in children, the impact of intellectual

Data on 2256 cases of domestic, aged 4 to 11-year-old children in the study suggests that mothers of children with behavior problems related to smoking. Mother smoking can cause behavioral problems in children, including withdrawal, anxiety, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, shyness, etc., but the severity of behavior disorders in children with their mothers the number of daily smoking increases.

Meanwhile, 128 cases of preschool intelligence test results showed that passive smoking on children’s intelligence have a significant effect. Passive smoking can lead to nicotine addiction, resulting in children and adolescents active smoking, and the typical withdrawal symptoms after smoking cessation. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in 1996 to 49 states and the District of Columbia, the survey suggests that about 15 million U.S. children have been at home adult cigarette smoke. Young children caused by passive smoking and nicotine addiction has become a major public health impact of social problems, should be attracted nationwide attention.
