As the scientists of the University of Bristol, in 9 of 10 cases the cause of sudden infant death syndrome children is a non-Smoking mother. Professor Peter Fleming said that the main reasons for sudden infant death, as it is called "death in the cradle", Smoking related and much earlier. In the UK not so long ago was a restriction of Smoking in public places.

Sudden infant death

Statistics show that the number of women smokers has markedly decreased over the last 15 years. But despite this, cases of sudden infant death women who smoke increased. As specialists declare, this is due to the effect of the campaign, conducted in 1991, when experts urged all mothers to put babies on their backs when they are asleep. After the campaign has significantly reduced the incidents of finding dead kids in bed lying on his stomach. All this leads to the conclusion that now the main cause of the risk of SIDS is Smoking.
