Smoking in pregnancy associated with higher risk of offspring showing antisocial behavior later

New research has found that young people whose mothers smoked may have a higher risk of antisocial behavior and of carrying out criminal acts. Previous studies have also found a link between smoking during pregnancy and antisocial behavior in children, however whether this a causal relationship remains unclear. In order to gain a better understanding, a team of researchers from Brown University and the University of Maryland looked at 3443 children of women who took part in the Boston and Providence centers of the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) between 1959 and 1966.
