00:00Tobacco claims as many lives daily as if multiple commercial airplanes were to crash before
00:10the day ends.
00:13The real outrage, however, isn't just the staggering death toll, but the fact that it
00:18took nearly a century for the public to fully acknowledge the lethal risks associated with
00:22tobacco use.
00:24Alarmingly, babies born to mothers who smoke during pregnancy face heightened risks of
00:29developing conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, aggressive behavior,
00:36impulsivity, and language and attention difficulties.
00:41Despite these serious risks, 12% of pregnant women continue to smoke.
00:47Adding another layer to the issue, a recent study published in BMC Public Health reveals
00:52that 432,000 British children are living in poverty due to their parents' tobacco addiction.
00:59These children are often overlooked in official child poverty statistics because poverty is
01:04typically measured by family income levels.
01:07Dr. Tessa Langley from the British Centre for the Study of Alcohol and Tobacco at the
01:12University of Nottingham, who spearheaded the research, notes that the average cost
01:17of a pack of 20 cigarettes in Great Britain is £7.
01:22Some families try to cut costs by opting for cheaper brands or rolling their own tobacco.
01:28This study sheds light on the often-hidden financial strain that tobacco addiction imposes
01:33on families, further entrenching them in poverty.
