Cigarette smoke can stay in the air for 2-3 hours, and the chemicals in cigarette smoke can stick to walls or furniture for years. Although invisible, the smoke can still be inhaled by many people, including pregnant women.
Exposure to cigarette smoke near pregnant women is very dangerous and increases the risk of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy. The dangerous chemicals contained in cigarettes can enter the bloodstream of pregnant women and fetuses, disrupt fetal development, cause genetic abnormalities or birth defects, and lead to miscarriage.
In addition, babies who are born with low birth weight can also be caused by exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy. Babies with low birth weight have a higher risk of experiencing respiratory problems, infections, brain disorders, and other health problems.
Pregnant women who are often exposed to cigarette smoke are also at high risk of giving birth to premature babies, who can experience serious health problems such as certain organ disorders, congenital heart disease, infections, jaundice, difficulty breastfeeding, and bleeding in the brain. In addition, babies are also at risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) if pregnant women are continuously exposed to cigarette smoke.
In addition to the health problems mentioned above, smoking near pregnant women can also cause learning disorders or growth and developmental disorders in children after birth.
To prevent the negative impacts of exposure to cigarette smoke on pregnant women, it is highly recommended to avoid smoking near them. If it is still difficult to quit smoking, smoke outside the house and stay away from pregnant women.
After smoking, immediately take a shower and change clothes. In addition, pregnant women should also not smoke and avoid people who are smoking. Also remind family members not to smoke in the house.
If after being exposed to cigarette smoke a pregnant woman experiences health problems, consult a doctor immediately. By realizing the negative impacts of exposure to cigarette smoke on pregnant women, let's start committing to maintaining the health of mothers and babies by avoiding smoking and cigarette smoke.
The health of mothers and babies is a top priority, so let's take care of ourselves and the environment around us to stay healthy and safe.
