Smoking mothers deliver aggressive babies .

Pregnant women have now even more reasons to quit smoking. Whereas previous research has linked smoking during pregnancy to low birth weight, a new joint Dutch-Canadian study has found that women who smoke during pregnancy risk delivering aggressive kids. In their study, psychiatry professor Jean Seguin of Montreal University and researcher Stephan Huijbregts of Leiden University in the Netherlands have established that smoking during pregnancy predisposes children to develop violent behaviour.
