Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with increased risk of smoking in children and adults, and have recently been associated with both prenatal smoking and next-generation child smoking. We assessed three exposure-outcome associations: (1) maternal ACE and prenatal smoking; (2) maternal ACE and early initiation of smoking in children; and (3) prenatal smoking and early initiation of smoking in children, modified by maternal ACE. We also tested these associations for effect modification by maternal race/ethnicity. Our study sample consisted of 4,775 mother-child dyads from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and its partner study, the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults survey. We analyzed three ACE exposures (physical abuse, household alcohol abuse, and household mental illness), prenatal smoking status, and age of smoking initiation in their children.
