SMOKING DURING PREGANCY LINKED TO VIOLENT MALE CHILDREN A study by researchers at Emory University in Atlanta has shown that male children born to women who smoke during pregnancy run a risk of violent and criminal behavior that lasts into adulthood, perhaps because of central nervous system damage. The study was based on arrest histories up to age 34 of 4,169 males born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Earlier studies have also linked smoking during pregnancy to impulsive behavior and attention deficit problems in children. This new study, published in the journal "Archives of General Psychiatry," is the first to show that the impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy is related to persistent offending rather than to adolescent-limited offending.
