cigarettes were 3.62 times more likely to report using

For instance, it has been suggested that the physical restraint associated with swaddling may prevent infants placed supine
from rolling to the prone position.299 One study's results suggested a decrease in SIDS rate with swaddling if the infant was supine, 182 but it was notable that there was an increased risk of SIDS if the infant was swaddled and placed in the prone position.182 Although a recent study found a 31-fold increase in SIDS risk with swaddling, the analysis was not stratified according to sleep position.171 Although it may be more likely that parents will initially place a swaddled infant supine, this protective effect may be offset by the 12-fold increased risk of SIDS if the infant is either placed or rolls to the prone position when swaddled.182, 300 Moreover, there is no evidence that swaddling reduces bed - sharing or use of unsafe sleep surfaces, promotes breastfeeding, or reduces maternal
cigarette smoking.
In animal models, exposure to
cigarette smoke or nicotine during fetal development alters the expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in areas of the brainstem important
for autonomic function, 28 alters the neuronal excitability of neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius (a brainstem region important
for sensory integration), 29 and alters fetal autonomic activity and medullary neurotransmitter receptors.30 In human infants, there are strong associations between nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and serotonin receptors in the brainstem during development.31 Prenatal exposure to tobacco
smoke attenuates recovery
from hypoxia in preterm infants, 32 decreases heart rate variability in preterm33 and term34 infants, and abolishes the normal relationship between heart rate and gestational age at birth.33 Moreover, infants of
smoking mothers exhibit impaired arousal patterns to trigeminal stimulation in proportion to urinary cotinine levels.35 It is important to note also that prenatal exposure to tobacco
smoke alters the normal programming of cardiovascular reflexes such that there is a greater - than - expected increase in blood pressure and heart rate in response to breathing 4 % carbon dioxide or a 60 ° head - up tilt.36 These changes in autonomic function, arousal, and cardiovascular reflexes might all increase an infant's vulnerability to SIDS.

Worldwide, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer.1 In the United Kingdom, its annual incidence is second only to that of breast cancer, accounting
for around 39000 new cancer diagnoses annually.2 In countries that have seen a high prevalence of
smoking, around 90 % of diagnoses of lung cancer are attributable to
cigarette smoking.3 The increased incidence
from smoking is proportional to the length and intensity of
smoking history.4 On average, a lifetime smoker has a 20-fold increase in the risk of developing lung cancer compared with a lifetime non - smoker.1 Lung cancer is more common in men than in women, closely following past patterns of
smoking prevalence, and 80 % of cases are diagnosed in people aged over 60.2

cigarette, immediately after which they had a significant decrease in blood vessel output power and significant increase in blood vessel ageing level and remaining blood volume 25 minutes later, as markers of atherosclerosis.94 In another study, human coronary artery endothelial cells were exposed to the
smoke equivalent to one
cigarette, which led to activation of oxidant stress sensing transcription factor NFR2 and up - regulation of cytochrome p450, considered to have a role in the development of heart disease.95 These effects were not seen when heart cells were exposed to the vapour
from one e -
cigarette.95 A study exposed adult mice to low intensity tobacco
smoke (two
cigarettes)
for one to two months and found adverse histopathological effects on brain cells.96
