“…Children as young as 18-24 months show increases in externalizing behaviors (Stene-Larsen et al, 2009;Wakschlag et al, 2006a) as well as internalizing and total problem scores following prenatal tobacco exposure (Carter et al, 2008). A study of 3-year-olds exposed gestationally to tobacco determined that increases in oppositional behavior were correlated to third trimester exposure .…”

Most drugs of abuse easily cross the placenta and can affect fetal brain development. In utero exposures to drugs thus can have long-lasting implications for brain structure and function. These effects on the developing nervous system, before homeostatic regulatory mechanisms are properly calibrated, often differ from their effects on mature systems. In this review, we describe current knowledge on how alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, amphetamine, Ecstasy, and opiates (among other drugs) produce alterations in neurodevelopmental trajectory. We focus both on animal models and available clinical and imaging data from cross-sectional and longitudinal human studies. Early studies of fetal exposures focused on classic teratological methods that are insufficient for revealing more subtle effects that are nevertheless very behaviorally relevant. Modern mechanistic approaches have informed us greatly as to how to potentially ameliorate the induced deficits in brain formation and function, but conclude that better delineation of sensitive periods, dose-response relationships, and long-term longitudinal studies assessing future risk of offspring to exhibit learning disabilities, mental health disorders, and limited neural adaptations are crucial to limit the societal impact of these exposures.

“…PCSE affects central nervous system (CNS) development, predisposing the offspring to neurobehavioral deficits manifested as irritability and difficult temperament during infancy and poor self-regulation during childhood (Stroud et al, 2009). PCSE is consistently associated with behaviors such as hyperactivity and attention deficits (Button et al, 2005; Kotimaa et al, 2003; Langley et al, 2008; Thapar et al, 2003), and predicts other difficulties in self-regulation, such as aggressive behavior (Brion et al, 2010; Carter et al, 2008; Cornelius et al, 2007; Day et al, 2000; Gatzke-Kopp and Beauchaine, 2007; Huijbregts et al, 2008; Ruckinger et al, 2010), antisocial behavior (Ernst et al, 2001; Wakschlag et al, 2002) and conduct problems in childhood (Baler et al, 2008; Fergusson et al, 2007; Maughan et al, 2004) and adolescence (Wakschlag et al, 2002, 2006). However, few studies have examined the relations between PCSE and these outcomes in young adulthood.…”

We examined the long-term effects of prenatal cigarette smoke exposure (PCSE) on the behavior problems and smoking behavior of 22-year-old offspring. The mothers of these offspring were interviewed about their tobacco and other drug use during pregnancy at the fourth and seventh gestational months, and at delivery. Data on the offspring are from interviews at age 22 (n=608). Behavior problems were measured by the Adult Self-Report (ASR) with the following outcome scales: total behavior problems, externalizing, internalizing, attention, anxiety/depression, withdrawn, thought, intrusive, aggression, somatic and rule breaking behavioral problems. Young adult smoking behavior was measured using self-reported average daily cigarettes, and was validated with urine cotinine. Nicotine dependence was measured with the Fagerström Tobacco and Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scale. Regression analyses tested the relations between trimester-specific PCSE and young adult’s behavioral problems and smoking behavior, adjusting for demographic and maternal psychological characteristics, and other prenatal substance exposures. Exposed young adults had significantly higher scores on the externalizing, internalizing, aggression, and somatic scales of the ASR. These young adults were also more likely to have a history of arrests. Young adults with PCSE also had a higher rate of smoking and nicotine dependence. Our previous findings of the relations between PCSE and aggressive behavior in early childhood and PCSE and smoking behavior in early adolescence extend into young adulthood.

Introduction: Smoking remains to be a main cause of preventable death and illness in both developing and developed countries. The high prevalence of smoking consumption contributes to significant healthrelated diseases. While the rate of smoking use is reducing in most countries, Pacific countries still have a high smoking prevalence. This systematic review study is aimed at understanding the prevalence of smoking and its health consequences among Pacific countries.
