　　M：Through a large amount of research, many American doctors say that mothers who smoke cigarettes before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies’ lungs. John Hailor and William Liburdy, doctors in Boston, Massachusetts studied about 1,100 children to look into the effect that mothers’ smoking had on their children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the children whose mothers smoked developed 20％ more cold and breathing diseases than other children in their later life.

　　Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the fathers’ smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer. Why it goes like that is still not known.
