Oh, great, now the moms are going to be accused of causing their kids' ADHD whether they smoked or not.

HOW MUCH DID THEY SPEND ON THIS WORTHLESS STUDY... THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN SMOKING AND HYPERACTIVITY... IF ANYTHING IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND... THAT THE KIDS ARE LETHARGIC WITHOUT THE NICOTINE IN THEIR SYSTEMS. THATS THE SCIENCE OF IT.

What a load of BS!! I smokes full time while I was pregnant with all 3 of my kids. None of them have behavior problems or hyperactivity or anything of the sort. 2 of them are honor roll students my oldest now a freshman in college - having been grounded once in her life and recently I was told by one of my other kids it was their fault, not hers...
My kids are also all very healthy - other than the seasonal cold - No major illnesses No breathing problems, no pneumonia... hmmm
I have nieces and nephews and friends with kids that are little hellians whos parents have never smoked. They have serious behavior problems and many illnesses.
Lets stop blaming smoking and start looking at the parenting skills of the children who are constantly sick and acting out.
