Smoking? You Could Get A Dull Childâ€" Study

ARE you aware that passive smoking makes your child dull in class? Helen Green, an American expert in Mental Health, recently revealed in an interview that researchers from American Cincinnati Children's Hospital had discovered that “tobacco smoke hurts a child's learning skills.” "Just a little bit of secondhand smoke can cause measurable damage to a child's learning ability, affecting reading, maths and reasoning!" Green quotes the study.She warns, that infants of smoking mothers are three times more likely to die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) than infants not exposed to smoke. SIDS is the number one cause of death in infants between one month and one year of age, and accounts for about 50% of deaths in infants between two and four months of age. She adds that smoking also increases the risk of erectile dysfunction.Ends
