Parents who frequently smoke around their babies may be subjecting those infants to dangerous chemicals according to a new study published in the Journal for Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. Scientists examined urine from 144 babies whose parents smoked and found detectable levels of cancer-causing chemicals in nearly half of the infants(47%). In babies who had detectable levels of the chemicals, research also found that their parents smoked an average of 76 cigarettes per week. Need we advise any responsible parent to desist from smoking around their infants?. Come on, get real – the habit is unhealthy and destructive, not only for you, but also for your baby.
