The study, detailed in current issue of the journal Child Development, is the first to show a link between smoking during pregnancy and child behavior problems in the first years of life.

A heck of a lot more likely: many smokers tend to be the sort of trashy low-lifes who don't discipline their children properly, leading to behavior problems.

...but this is virgin territory for me.

While that was true at one time, it's certainly no longer the case. :=)

Apparently these kid's dads were doing more than blowing smoke up their momma's a$$.

I smoked. My son was a doll. He was valedictorian of his class at the harded private school in the area and entered Harvard at 17 with sophomore standing.

PHEH on these phony studies.

If I used you as any indication, I'd say that non-smokers were sort of snooty, holier-than-thou low-lifes.

But then again, I know better than pass judgement on people like that.

How dare you be so insulting.

Anti-smoker control freaks tend to be fat slobs from the wrong side of the tracks.

"A new study finds that unborn babies regularly exposed to cigarette smoke in the womb..."

So, how do they get the smoke in?

Perhaps it is the trashy low-lifes tend to smoke?
