“…Also impaired lung function caused during early childhood may predispose to respiratory diseases such as bronchitis later in life. 6 28 29 It must be borne in mind that the coughs were self reported by the children, and what is considered to be "a lot of coughs" may vary from one child to another. Nevertheless, the term is probably a reasonably good measure because it expresses the child's own feelings.…”

A survey of the smoking habits, attitudes, and background of over 15 000 8-19 year olds in northern England in December 1982 showed a positive correlation between parental smoking and the reporting of frequent coughs by children who had never smoked. This was especially pronounced in the youngest children. Thirty five per cent of boys under 11 who had never smoked and whose parents did not smoke reported frequent coughs; with one parent smoking this increased to 42%, and when both parents smoked the proportion was 48%. Girls under 11 showed the same pattern, with 32%, 40%, and

“…Because maternal smoking has a greater effect than paternal smoking, it also may influence asthma in utero by limiting lung development (197)(198)(199)(200)(201)(202)(203)(204)(205)(212)(213)(214). In addition, average concentrations of room air samples may underpredict the levels in a child's breathing zone because mothers often hold their small children.…”
