Kids More Apt to Smoke If Mom Did While Pregnant

becoming pregnant should try to quit," McGoldrick said.

Another study on the effects of smoking, also scheduled to be presented May 19 at the conference, found that children exposed to smoke may be more likely to develop emphysema later in life.

The researchers explained that smoke can damage young children's lungs, creating what's known as "emphysematous holes" in the lung. The holes begin as small areas of damage or impaired development but can lead to breathing problems later in life, even among nonsmokers, they said.

"The take-home message from our analysis is that exposure to tobacco smoke during childhood may be associated with detectable differences in lung structure, and perhaps early emphysema, later in life among people who do not themselves smoke," Gina Lovasi, a Health and Society Scholar at Columbia University, said in a prepared statement.
