The birth outcomes to emerge as significant correlates of co-use of Cannabis and tobacco cigarettes were small head circumference, and the occurrence of birth defects i.e. teratogenicity.

<h3>What is teratogenicity?</h3>
  • Teratogenicity is the ability of a drug or chemical to cause fetal abnormalities or deformities.
  • The drugs, chemicals, or even infections causing teratogenicity in fetus are called teratogens.
  • Common teratogens includes some medications, recreational drugs, tobacco products,  chemicals, alcohol, certain infections, and in some cases, uncontrolled health problems in the birthing parents.
  • Teratogens are most harmful early in pregnancy, starting about 10 to 14 days after conception to about 8 weeks into pregnancy.
  • Teratogens can cause neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Some organs are sensitive to teratogens during the whole pregnancy. This includes the brain and spinal cord of baby.
  • Alcohol affects the brain and spinal cord, so it can cause harm at any time during pregnancy.
  • To prevent teratogenicity avoid use of chemicals that may harm child like pesticides, fungicides, rodenticides or harsh cleaning products.
  • Avoid smoking, and alcohol consumption to prevent teratogenicity.
