Cigarette exposures negatively affect infant neuro-behaviors
Froggatt S, et al. The effects of prenatal cigarette and e-cigarette exposure on infant neurobehaviour: A comparison to a control group. E Clinical Medicine, The Lancet. Online First; October 15, 2020. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2020.100602https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30346-1/fulltext
“Both cigarette and e-cigarette exposed infants had a significantly greater number of abnormal reflexes (p = ·001; p = ·002). For both self-regulation and motor maturity, cigarette exposed infants performed significantly worse (p = ·010; p = ·002), with e-cigarette exposed infants having decreased motor maturity (p = ·036) abilities and marginally decreased for self-regulation (p = ·057).”
