Abstract
Maternal home second-hand smoke exposure during pregnancy is associated with incident physician-diagnosed childhood asthma, even if the mother does not smoke actively during pregnancy. Childhood asthma prevention programs should include smoking cessation strategies targeted toward smokers who live in the homes of smoking and nonsmoking pregnant women as well as pregnant women who smoke.
