Is it true that the "terrible two's" are even more terrible if mothers smoked during their pregnancies?


Is second-hand cigarette smoke harmful to non-smokers?

No, it's a myth. But no one should be smoking around an expectant mother. And yes, second-hand smoke is very dangerous to non-smokers. The smoke is not filtered. It's actually awful for surrounding people.
I don't think the first statement is accurate.
And the answer to the second is absolutely. Especially in children, smoking in the house can cause them to develop asthma, and respiratory problems.
Adults in chronic second hand smoke can also develop cancer. For example: Dana Reeves.
Yes and Yes It's been proven that women who smoke during pregnancy have more "active" kids.
I don't smoke. All I can say is that the ' terrible two's ' are NOTHING compared to the ' terrifying three's ' !

As to the second hand smoke question, a report came out either 2 or 3 weeks ago stating that it was a leading indicator of lung cancer in non smokers and a major cause in childhood asthma.
There is no such thing as "Terrible twos". Children are all different, and they all have different patterns of development. So in other words.. some child might be a "terrible two" while another is a "terrible five" It is all a combination of environment and genetic factors.
obviously Second hand smoking is harmful to non-smokers- especially young children.
Mothers smoking during their preganancies will definately affect the later outcome of their children and their development.
