Scientists in Korea have determined that infants, whose fathers smoke inside the home, have higher levels of nicotine in their hair than babies born to non-smoking dads. Mothers living with smokers also have significantly more nicotine and its byproducts in their hair. Based on average nicotine levels, the wife of an indoor smoker is exposed to 7.4 percent of all of the smoke her husband consumes, while 16.7 percent of the smoke a mother inhales is passed to her developing fetus.
