FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The finding is a result of a new US study involving 45 children aged 4 to 17 who were suffering from symptoms of bladder irritation including urge to urinate, urinating more frequently and incontinence.
According to the findings presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Atlanta, kids with the highest regular exposure to tobacco smoke were more likely to have moderate to severe bladder irritation symptoms.
Reportedly, 24 of the studied children were suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of bladder irritation, while 21 had mild or very mild symptoms.
However, among those with moderate to severe symptoms, 23 percent had a mother who smoked and 50 percent were regularly exposed to secondhand smoke while riding in a car, wrote Dr. Kelly Johnson and colleagues from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Rutgers University.
On the other hand, kids of non-smoker mothers and children who didn’t have a regular exposure to secondhand smoke only experienced very mild or mild symptoms of bladder irritation.
The findings provide meaningful and significant evidence supporting association between frequent exposures to tobacco some and severity of bladder irritation in children, according to HealthDay.
“Secondhand smoke is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States,” says Dr. Anthony Atala, a pediatric urologist at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
“Beyond conditions such as lung cancer, heart disease and asthma, we now know that smoking has a negative impact on urinary symptoms, particularly in young children. Data presented today should be added to the indisputable evidence that parents shouldn’t smoke around their children.”
