Vitamin C and smoking in pregnancy: long-term lung health follow-up
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is checking on the long-term lung health of children whose mothers took vitamin C or a placebo during pregnancy and either smoked or did not smoke. It's a follow-up to see if vitamin C might have lasting benefits for their breathing.
