| Offspring Using Cigarettes [n (%)] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Prenatal Alcohol Exposurea | Low-Risk (n=92) | High-Risk (n=98) | Overall (n=190) |
| None (n=116) | 10 (13.2) | 10 (25.0) | 20 (17.2) |
| Low (n=35) | 3 (20.0) | 9 (45.0) | 12 (34.3) |

a

b
Only one Low-Risk mother was above the median for number of drinks consumed during pregnancy
