摘要:The objective of the study was the evaluation of effect of passive smoking among pregnant women on the health condition of their newborn babies. The study cov-ered 150 healthy, non-smoking women from the Lublin Region. Among the total number of respondents, 45.34% were not exposed during pregnancy to passive smoking at their workplace, while 13.33% were passive smokers throughout the whole period of preg-nancy. The state of their babies was assessed according to the APGAR Scale. A statisti-cally significant correlation was noted between the maternal exposure to passive smoking during pregnancy and evaluation of the babies according to the APGAR Scale. No sta-tistically significant relationship was noted between the date of delivery, the birth weight of babies, the onset of lactation, the problems with breastfeeding and maternal passive smoking during pregnancy
