Pay attention, smoking fathers-to-be, you need to know that your smoking habit can harm your unborn child. If you want to protect the well being of your family, you should smoke outside your house suggested a recent study done in South Korea.

The studies were done on families with non-smoking mothers. Newborn babies whose fathers smoke in the house had higher levels of nicotine in their hair compared to those of smoking fathers who smoke outside the house. The level of nicotine of those babies whose fathers smoke outside the house is the same as the babies of non-smoking fathers.

The studies summarize the fact that fathers-to-be smoking in the house is potentially causing more harm to their unborn child by exposing them to environmental tobacco smoke.

The message is, smoking fathers-to-be who are not able to quit to take it outside or stub it out.

Mothers-to-be who are smokers should be aware that your smoking habit can harm your unborn child too to a greater extend.
