Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
one important problem is the byass due to self declaration by questionnaire
perhaps the authors could discuss about advantadges of biomarkers of environmental tobacco exposure to nicotine
what about other important factors as LTRI?
families smoking at home could have some socioeconomic problems
deleterious effects on lung function were due to prenatal or to postnatal exposure to smoke?
breast milk have an obvious positive general effect, but only breast milk o it is associated with other factors?

Reviewer 2 Report
1, The introduction should provide more background about the research questions and include relevant references. 2, I would encourage the authors to strengthen the Material and methods by more closely mapping the analytical methods to their research questions (instead of just offering many different analyses and findings). 3, I would encourage the authors to more clearly specify their models (outcomes, testable covariates, confounders by name). 4, I would encourage the authors to show the P-value or significant level in figure 1 and 2. 5, The discussion should include the contribution and limitation of the study.Author Response
