Maternal Smoking during Pregnancy and Early Childhood and Development of Asthma and Rhinoconjunctivitis – a MeDALL Project

Abstract

Findings from this combined analysis of five European birth cohorts strengthen evidence linking early exposure to tobacco smoke with asthma during childhood and adolescence. Children with high early-life exposure were more likely than unexposed children to have early transient and persistent asthma and persistent rhinoconjunctivitis. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2738.
