Babies whose mothers smoke during pregnancy could be at higher risk of growing up to be criminals,
new research suggests. This is the first study to examine the relationship between mothers who
smoke and their children's adult behaviour. The findings were based on data for 4,169 males born in
Copenhagen between September 1959 and December 1961. Their arrest records at age 34 were
studied. It was discovered that the number of cigarettes their mothers had smoked during the last third
of their pregnancy affected the men's arrests for both violent and non -violent crimes. This was true
even when other possible causes, such as use of alcohol, divorce, income, and home environment had
been taken into consideration.
