Childhood Behavioral Problems Linked to Maternal Smoking by Colleen Fleiss on May 1, 2021 at 1:10 AM
Behavioral problems in early childhood are associated with a pregnant woman s exposure to tobacco smoke and pollution from road traffic, revealed a recent study led by a team from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by the la Caixa Foundation.

In these applications and related advertisements, the owners of e-cigarette brands claim that their products help smokers quit and can therefore be considered appropriate for the protection of public health, as stipulated by law. But a new systematic review by UC San Francisco researchers of the scientific literature on this topic puts those claims to the test.
