Are SIDS and apnea related?

SIDS is not the same as apnea. Many people have apnea and apnea has killed infants. Infants with apnea can be resuscitated. An apnea monitor (AKA cot monitor) can detect when a SIDS victim stops breathing � but remember, a SIDS victim is already dead when that happens. Note: Infants with apnea usually are placed on apnea monitors for apnea, not to prevent the unpreventable. And many SIDS parents do use apnea monitors on subsequent children � this has mainly a placebo effect on the parents. No, they are not. You can revive a baby that has apnea if it is not too late. A SIDS baby you can't revive. SIDS is undetectable and you never know when it will hit. With apnea a baby can stop breathing and start again. SIDS is totally different.

What lung or mouth disease is NOT known to be caused by smoking?

Apnea is not a "disease"! Apnea is a symptom of either a condition or a disease. Apnea is a temporary lack of breathing during sleep or during altered consciousness (such as during pre or post surgery). Sleep apnea or obstructive apnea can have numerous causes, including as a reaction to respiratory depressant medications (example, narcotics, even when given in the hospital), illegal drug use, obesity, throat problems, or a co-existing lung disease, acute illness, etc.The symptom of apnea has nothing to do with smoking.As to mouth, most oral infections such as yeast (which causes oral thrush) or viral infections (like Herpes Cold Sores) have nothing to do with smoking.
