This conclusion is suggested by the scientists who conducted the study with mice. The authors focused on a brain region implicated in memory processes. This area of the brain has the curious property of producing neurons throughout life.

The Smoking During Pregnancy
Smoking is a major public health problem. All smokers are at increased risk for lung cancer, other lung diseases, cardiovascular problems and other health problems. Smoking during pregnancy can endanger the health of the woman and her unborn baby. Currently, at least 10 percent of women in the U.S. smoke during pregnancy 1.
18 percent of women in the United States and other industrialized countries smoke 2. In developing countries is about 8 percent. Many of these women smoke while pregnant.
The statistics on what happens in the U.S. are strong. If all pregnant women stopped smoking in the United States, the number of stillbirths would drop by 11 percent and the number of deaths of newborn babies in a 5For percent, according to estimates by the Public Health Service of the United United 1 . Currently in the United States, at least 11 percent of women smoke during pregnancy. 2
Cigarette smoke contains over 2,500 chemicals. No one knows for sure what harm the developing baby, but it is believed that both nicotine and carbon monoxide can cause the pregnancy does not have the desired result.
What causes smoke damage in the newborn?
Smoking nearly doubles the risk of low birth weight baby. In the United States in 2002, 12.2 percent of babies born to smoking mothers with low birth weight (less than 5.5 libras/2.5 kg) compared with 7.5 percent of babies born to nonsmoking mothers. 2 The low weight birth may result from insufficient development of the baby in the womb, premature delivery, or both. It has long been known that smoking slows fetal growth, and studies suggest it also increases the risk of preterm delivery (before 37 weeks gestation). Premature and low birthweight are at higher risk for serious health problems during the first months of life, permanent disability (including cerebral palsy, mental retardation and learning problems) and even death.
The more a pregnant woman smokes, the greater the risk to the baby of low birth weight. Also, if you quit at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, have virtually the same chances that your baby is born with low weight a woman who never smoked. Even if she fails to quit in the first or second trimester, if at all during the third the baby’s development can be improved.
A recent study suggests that women who smoke at any time from the month before pregnancy to the end of the first quarter are more likely to have a baby with birth defects, particularly congenital heart defects 6 . The risk of heart defects seems to increase with the number of cigarettes a woman smokes.
