Japanese scientists have found that women who abuse smoking while carrying a child can give birth to a baby who is deaf.

There is a fairly large amount of information about the dangers of smoking during the period of bearing a child.. Scientists from Kyoto University found out a new fact. It turns out that women who smoke during pregnancy deprive newborns of hearing.

The study was conducted referring to data on more than 50,000 3-year-old children. 3.8% of them were exposed to smoking only in the womb, 3.9% at 4 months of age, and 0.9% were victims of smoking both during pregnancy and at 4 months of age. It turned out that 4.6% of children who were exposed to smoking while in the womb have hearing impairments.. Babies whose mothers smoked when they were 4 months old have a 30 percent risk of hearing loss. And if a mother smokes both during pregnancy and after childbirth, then the risk of violations increases by almost 2.5 times..

This study once again confirms the high degree of adverse effects of smoking during pregnancy.. Experts say that a woman should, with maximum responsibility, prepare her body for bearing a child..

Note that doctors also stated that smoking while carrying a child can lead to disorders of the baby's nervous system, and this, in turn, can be one of the causes of stuttering..
