BACKGROUND There is substantial evidence that maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with both antisocial behaviour and symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring. However, it is not clear whether maternal smoking during pregnancy is independently associated with antisocial behaviour or whether the association arises because antisocial behaviour and ADHD covary. AIMS To examine the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy, antisocial…

Maternal prenatal smoking, parental antisocial behavior, and early childhood physical aggression
TLDR
Joint effects of maternal prenatal smoking and parental history of antisocial behavior on physical aggression between ages 17 and 42 months in a population sample of children born in Québec showed significant main effects and a significant interaction in the prediction of children's probability to display high and rising physical aggression.
Prenatal Exposure to Maternal and Paternal Smoking on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders Symptoms and Diagnosis in Offspring
TLDR
It was found that maternal, but not paternal, smoking was significantly associated with elevated inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and total ADHD symptoms in children.

TLDR
Prenatal smoking exposure may contribute to ODD and via that route to later CD, but does not have a specific association with ADHD in this sample.
Associations of Maternal Prenatal Smoking with Early Childhood Physical Aggression, Hyperactivity-Impulsivity, and Their Co-Occurrence
TLDR
Results show that maternal prenatal smoking predicts multiple behavior regulation problems in early childhood.

Maternal smoking and offspring inattention and hyperactivity: results from a cross-national European survey
TLDR
Drawing on data from a diverse set of countries across Europe, it is document that the association between maternal smoking and offspring ADHD is stronger than that of paternal smoking during the pregnancy period and offspring hyperactivity disorder.
Is prenatal smoking associated with a developmental pattern of conduct problems in young boys?
TLDR
Prenatal smoking plays an etiological role in or is a risk marker for the development of conduct problems, exposed offspring are at increased risk of an early-starter pathway to conduct problems.
Prenatal smoking predicts non-responsiveness to an intervention targeting attention-deficit/hyperactivity symptoms in elementary schoolchildren.
TLDR
Prenatally exposed children are most prone to follow a path of high levels of ADHD symptoms and associated elevated risk for early-onset experimentation with smoking, which is unreceptive to a universal preventive intervention.

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in offspring.
TLDR
Maternal smoking during pregnancy appears to show an association with offspring ADHD symptoms that is additional to the effects of genes and not attributable to shared rater effects, clinical referral biases, or covariation with antisocial behavior.
Pregnancy smoking and childhood conduct problems: a causal association?
TLDR
It is found that the prime risks for early-onset conduct problems may be associated with persistent maternal smoking--or correlates of persistent smoking--rather than with pregnancy smoking per se.

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and severe antisocial behavior in offspring: a review.
TLDR
Existing evidence provides consistent support for, but not proof of, an etiologic role for prenatal smoking in the onset of antisocial behavior, and the possibility of identifying a preventable prenatal risk factor for a serious mental disorder makes further research on this topic important for public health.
Maternal smoking during pregnancy and psychiatric adjustment in late adolescence.
TLDR
It is suggested that maternal smoking during pregnancy may contribute to children's risk of later externalizing problems and there is a need to further explore the moderating effect of the sex of the child and the underlying pathophysiological features of this relationship.
Prenatal smoking and early childhood conduct problems: testing genetic and environmental explanations of the association.
TLDR
Observed associations between prenatal smoking and childhood conduct problems are likely to be heavily confounded with other known risks for children's behavioral development.

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and adult male criminal outcomes.
TLDR
Maternal prenatal smoking predicts persistent criminal outcome in male offspring and a dose-response relationship between amount of maternal prenatal smoking and arrests for nonviolent and violent crimes is indicated.
Hyperactivity and conduct problems as risk factors for adolescent development.
TLDR
A developmental pathway through which hyperactivity raised the likelihood of impaired social adjustment, including the development of psychiatric disorders, independently of the existence of conduct problems was suggested.
