That smoking during pregnancy can harm the fetus at this point is something already obvious, given by all. However, a study by the Environmental Health Unit in collaboration with The Arrixaca La Fe de Valencia goes further: the nicotine in snuff could have bad consequences for two generations.

Why? In girls, the ova are formed while in the womb. These eggs are affected by snuff, so that increases cancer risk not only in the fetus, but the children that this person has in the future.
The study is not new (‘The Truth’ and he reported in 2008) but has now achieved new impact through publication in a prestigious scientific journal: the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health. ”
Between 2001 and 2005 doctors evaluated 128 children born with cancer. In 65% of cases, the father, mother or both were smokers.

The pediatrician Juan Antonio Ortega, La Arrixaca, has directed this ambitious study, funded by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), and the physicians who participated La Fe (Valencia), Madrid’s Hospital and Mount Sinai New York.

The researchers conclude that the relationship between snuff and childhood cancer is much closer than previously thought, warning that the consequences go beyond the fetus, leading to the next generation, which can be inherited cancer markers.
“Exposure to snuff can make the egg” of the fetus, which in future will lead to the grandson, said Dr. Juan Antonio Ortega. Carcinogens of snuff may also affect sperm, say the authors of this study conducted from La Arrixaca.
