We know that there are many reasons to quit smoking and especially during pregnancy, so now we provide another possible reason. Apparently, according to a study conducted by a group of British researchers, Children of mothers who quit smoking when they are pregnant are happier and more adaptable babies.
On the contrary, the children of the mothers who continued smoking during their pregnancy are especially grumpy babies. The strange thing is that they also affirm that the children of people who have never tried tobacco also have more temperament than the children of mothers who quit smoking.
This team of doctors from the University of York analyzed the 18,000 babies and their respective mothers, who were born between 2000 and 2002 in Britain. They were subjected to an exhaustive interview aimed at analyzing the character of the children. The children of the mothers who had abandoned tobacco after becoming pregnant were much calmer than the rest. According to Dr. Kate Pickett, who leads this study "is a significant association, we can be sure that it is not due to a coincidence"
The reason they claim for this to happen is that, and always according to these researchers, mothers who manage to quit smoking take a maternal action of clear protection of the baby, which marks that they have an easier character and that they also care more about The children in other aspects.
The doctor also points out that "I think it is very important to avoid stigmatizing women who fail to leave." In my opinion, it is not good to generalize, since each one will have their personal circumstances.
