Indoor air pollution and passive smoking. Maternal smoking seems to increase the risk of childhood asthma, and data suggest that passive smoking from parents in the homes increases the risk of childhood asthma by 13-37% (Strachan and Cook 1998). A major risk factor from the indoor environment is exposure to house dust mites, and a dose-response...

Genetic factors cannot explain the recent rapid rise in asthma prevalence. Asthma appears to require both genetic predisposition and environmental exposure. Many patients with occupational asthma develop the disease late in life upon exposure to specific allergens in the workplace. Environmental influences in utero or in infancy may contribute to the development of asthma. Maternal smoking during pregnancy or exposure to secondhand smoke after birth increases the risk of childhood asthma.3 Adult-onset asthma is not uncommon and may be related to atopy, nasal polyps, aspirin sensitivity, occupational exposure, or a recurrence of childhood asthma.

Prenatal exposure to nicotine impairs auditory and visual attention, and this impairment is gender specific. When smoker or nonsmoker adolescents with or without prenatal exposure to maternal smoking were tested for auditory and visual-selective and divided attention, females exposed to tobacco smoke during adolescence or prenatal development showed reduced performance accuracy. Among males, marked deficits were observed in auditory attention (Jacobsen et al. 2007).

Mortality Mortality associated with all methods of birth control is low and below that associated with childbirth, with the exception of OC use in women 35 or older who smoke and 40 and older who do not smoke. The Fertility and Maternal Health Drugs Advisory Committee recommended that the benefits of low-dose OC use by healthy nonsmoking women older than 40 years of age may outweigh the possible risks.
