Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that mothers who smoke heavily are more likely to transfer the addiction vicariously to their baby is not accurate. While smoking during pregnancy can lead to several adverse outcomes for the baby, including low birth weight, increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and putting the child's health at risk, addiction is not transferred vicariously. Addiction involves complex biological and environmental factors and cannot be directly transferred from mother to baby through smoking.
