A multi-center study, led by researchers at University of California, San Francisco, found that children with severe asthma are 3.6 times more likely to have been exposed to tobacco smoking before birth. The prenatal exposure also was associated with three times the number of daily and night-time asthma symptoms later in the child’s life, as well as nearly four times the number of asthma-related emergency room visits.
