Abstract: Parental tobacco use can harm child health outcomes. From adverse developmental effects during pregnancy to an illness linked to second-hand smoke and spending scarce household economic resources, tobacco use has a detrimental impact on children’s health. Smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke can lead to low weight and premature births, increased risk of fetal mortality, congenital abnormalities, and childhood obesity 1,2,3. Children with tobacco-using parents are at a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome, severe asthma, and ear and respiratory infections, among other health issues 4.
