Expecting moms are learning to quit smoking to prevent the possibility of psychotic behavior.
It’s no secret…
Smoking is bad for you.
And it’s especially bad for you if you’re a pregnant mom.
In fact, a new study shows that moms who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have teenagers who have psychotic behaviors.
The level of psychosis displayed in the kids was found to be directly related to the amount of cigarettes the mother smoked while pregnant.
The more heavily the mother smoked during pregnancy, the more psychotic behaviors the children displayed.
Bottom line?
If you’re a pregnant mom and you haven’t been able to stop smoking for your own sake…
See if you can stop smoking for the sake of your unborn child who may wind up being psychotic, delusional and possibly even schizophrenic if you continue to smoke heavily while pregnant.
