Abstract(s)

Pregnant women are a vulnerable population for tobacco-control efforts because cigarette smoking during pregnancy pose serious risks to foetal health. Besides smoking during pregnancy, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure should also be considered when discussing the effects of tobacco as it has been classified by EPA as a class A carcinogen.
