I’m not pregnant and smoking and evil, just curious.
Thanks.
Not what I asked.

Good question – most people these days don’t allow their babies to experiment with smoking to find out if they have a predisposition to it or not. In the old days, though, some babies did experiment with it: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=J30RMM%2Fgx6SJb%2FAMgGXGAw%3D%3D

All kidding aside, exposure to nicotine gives you a tolerance to it, even years later. So, kids who were exposed to nicotine in the womb probably have a slightly easier time getting used to the nicotine when they try smoking. But tolerance to the drug varies widely among people, so it would be hard to tell if it were from prenatal exposure.
