Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. (lemmy.world)

Quite a lot. Most mothers smoked while pregnant and gave their kids asthma as a result, and ADHD too. That's why you see more of that.

My mom quit smoking before pregnancy, and dad never smoked. Still neurodivergent. I've not personally heard of a causal link there before.

Thanks, but, uh:

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring ADHD is not due to causal intrauterine effects, but reflects unmeasured confounding.
