According to a longitudinal study published in 1991, and done in the 1980's in Jamaica by Melanie Dreher, RN, PhD, FAAN, and funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the March of Dimes, at 3 days after birth, there was no difference in babies who were exposed to cannabis, and those who were not. After 30 days, the exposed babies did better on comprehensive evaluations than non-exposed babies. After 4 years, there was no significant difference between the two groups. At 5 years of age, after the children had started school, the McCarthy scale and something called "the home scale" again showed no difference between exposed children and non-exposed children. A video of a presentation of this study by Dr. Dreher at the Patients Out of Time Conference in Asilomar in July of 2008 is available <a href> http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=39313123&searchid=b4885688-abdb-4dac-b6b8-1ab5e62b525a

Smoking puts carbon monoxide the blood steam. Blood prefers to attach to carbon monoxide over oxygen, a fetus's blood more so. When there is too much carbon monoxide, it deprives the child of oxygen - which is needed for proper growth and development.
As well, the child is still subject to the rest of the chemicals in cigarets.
There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke and that, on average, children are exposed to more secondhand smoke than adults. Children are significantly affected by secondhand smoke. Children's bodies are still developing, and exposure to the poisons in secondhand smoke puts them at risk of severe respiratory diseases and can hinder the growth of their lungs. Secondhand smoke is a known cause of low birth weight, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, middle ear infection, and other diseases.
These are some of the effects of second hand smoke:
Low Birth Weight
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Cognitive Impairments
Behavioral Problems
Respiratory Problems
Asthma
Repercussions on Adult Health
It can cause deformities and metal probems or the child when it is born. If the mother has been smoking an adictive drug like cannabis then the child will be born adicted to that drug.
