“…This research indicates that women who continue to smoke are psychologically distinct from women who smoke yet choose to quit during pregnancy. The former mothers are more likely than quitters to have a lifetime history of poor relationships, adaptive functioning, and risky health behaviors, and are more likely to have a childhood history of CD [11,12]. Given these findings, some have suggested that a direct genetic effect may explain the association between maternal smoking and childhood antisocial behavior [13].…”

The association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and childhood antisocial outcomes has been demonstrated repeatedly across a variety of outcomes. Yet debate continues as to whether this association reflects a direct programming effect of nicotine on fetal brain development, or a phenotypic indicator of heritable liability passed from mother to child. In the current study, we examine relations between maternal smoking and child behavior among 133 women and their 7-15-year-olds, who were recruited for clinical levels of psychopathology. In order to disentangle correlates of maternal smoking, women who smoked during pregnancy were compared with (a) those who did not smoke, and (b) those who did not smoke but experienced significant second-hand exposure. Second-hand exposure was associated with increased externalizing psychopathology in participant mothers' offspring. Moreover, regression analyses indicated that smoke exposure during pregnancy predicted conduct disorder symptoms, over and above the effects of income, parental antisocial tendencies, prematurity, birth weight, and poor parenting practices. This is the first study to extend the findings of externalizing vulnerability to second hand smoke exposure.

“…For instance, the adverse effect of MSP on birth outcomes is well established, including an approximately 150-250 g decrement in birth weight (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2005;Visscher et al, 2003) and a higher neonatal mortality rate (Duncan et al, 2008;Fleming and Blair, 2007). Infants exposed to MSP also displayed an elevated risk for sudden infant death syndrome (Edner et al, 2007;Markowitz, 2007;Weese-Mayer et al, 2007), neurological and language problems (Fried, 1993;Fried et al, 1992aFried et al, , 1992b, diffi cult temperaments (Brook et al, 1998), aggression (Tremblay et al, 2004), behavioral problems (Maughan et al, 2004;Monuteaux et al, 2006;Orlebeke et al, 1997), cognitive function defi cits (Keeping et al, 1989;Naeye and Peters, 1984;Nomura et al, 2008), attention defi cits and hyperactivity (Button et al, 2005;Linnet et al, 2005;Wakschlag et al, 1997), early onset of delinquency and antisocial behavioral problems (Nomura et al, 2009;Piquero et al, 2002;Wakschlag et al, 2003;Weitzman et al, 1992), cigarette smoking in adolescence and adulthood (Buka et al, 2003;Cornelius et al, 2000Cornelius et al, , 2005Griesler et al, 1998), and drug use (Ekblad et al, 2010) Fergusson et al, 1998;Weissman et al, 1999). These fi ndings all indicate that MSP may indeed impair the development of the fetal central nervous system in a fashion that may predispose the offspring to a wide array of neurobehavioral problems.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSP) and lifetime risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and to explore possible mechanisms through which MSP may be related to neurobehavioral conditions during infancy and childhood, which could, in turn, lead to increased risk for AUD. Method: A sample of 1,625 individuals was followed from pregnancy for more than 40 years. Capitalizing on the long follow-up time, we used survival analysis to examine lifetime risks of AUD (diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition) in relation to levels of MSP (none, <20 cigarettes/day, and ≥20 cigarettes/day). We then used structural equation modeling to test hypotheses regarding potential mechanisms, including lower birth weight, neurological abnormalities, poorer academic functioning, and behavioral dysregulation. Results: Relative to unexposed offspring, offspring of mothers who smoked 20 cigarettes per day or more exhibited greater risks for AUD (hazard ratio = 1.31, 95% CI [1.08, 1.59]). However, no differences were observed among offspring exposed to fewer than 20 cigarettes per day. In structural equation models, MSP was associated with neurobehavioral problems during infancy and childhood, which, in turn, were associated with an increased risk for adult AUD. Conclusions: MSP was associated with an increased lifetime risk for AUD. Adverse consequences were evident from birth to adulthood. A two-pronged remedial intervention targeted at both the mother (to reduce smoking during pregnancy) and child (to improve academic functioning) may reduce the risk for subsequent AUD. (J. Stud.

“…As is common in the wider prenatal literature, pre-pregnancy nicotine dependence level predicted smoking cessation in low SES women (Higgins, Heil, Badger, Skelly, Solomon, & Bernstein, 2009;Morasco, Dornelas, Fischer, Oncken, & Lando, 2006;Nichter et al, 2007;Wakschlag et al, 2003). Women with higher levels of prepregnancy dependence (i.e., more CPD and TTF < 30 minutes) were less likely to quit smoking .…”

“…Past or present problem behavior may be a factor in prenatal smoking among low SES women. Wakschlag et al (2003) reported that persistent smokers exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of problem behaviors than nonsmokers. Problem behaviors included: running away from home, initiating fights as a teen, aggressive relationships, dropping out from high school, history of arrest, late prenatal care, and teen birth, to name a few.…”

“…Further investigation is required to identify measurable variables and relevant instruments. Unique issues for prenatal smoking in low SES women include: living in a working class neighborhood (Pickett et al, 2002), alcohol consumption and substance abuse (Adams et al, 2008;Jesse et al, 2006;Patterson et al, 2012), access/use of healthcare issues (Patterson et al), psychiatric diagnoses (Flick et al, 2006), and adaptive or interpersonal problem behaviors (Wakschlag et al, 2003). Qualitative research with pregnant smokers may uncover perceptions related to these issues that warrant closer examination in hypothesis testing studies.…”
