A member asked:

If my mom smoked while pregnant with me and after can that affect my lungs down the road?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smoking: Smoking while pregnant causes growth restriction and can result in small for gestational age children. If a newborn is exposed to second hand smoke it can lead to respiratory ailments such as restrictive airway disease.
