     ABSTRACT: It is well established that smoking has potent effects on a number of
     parameters including food intake, body weight, metabolism, and blood pressure. For
     example, it is well documented that 1) there is an inverse relationship between
     smoking and body weight, and 2) smoking cessation is associated with weight gain.
     However, there is increasing evidence that smoking can exert deleterious effects on
     energy balance through maternal exposure during fetal development. Specifically,
     there appears to be an increased incidence of metabolic disease (including obesity),
     and cardiovascular disease in children and adults that were exposed to smoke during
     fetal development. The present review will examine the relationship between
     maternal smoke and adult disease in offspring. The epidemiological studies
     highlighting this relationship will be reviewed as well as the experimental animal
     models that point to potential mechanisms underlying this relationship. A better
     understanding of how smoking effects changes in energy balance may lead to
     treatments to ameliorate the long-lasting effects of perinatal exposure to smoke as
     well as increasing the health benefits associated with smoking cessation.
