Abstract
This chapter discusses knowledge gained from studies of the effects of prenatal nicotine and tobacco exposure on the behavior and development of the offspring. It focuses on rodents because most research on the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure has been done on these animals, and findings parallel research on humans.
