Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …
