Long-term consequences of exposure to smoke is a subject of increasing interest in medicine, especially so when the exposure occurs during prenatal life and there is a steady increase in the number of related publications. It is an important Public Health issue, since for instance in the US, 12.3% of women keep smoking daily during pregnancy. At early terms (during pregnancy) it is known that nicotine has important impacts on human fetal development, potentially affecting different physiological systems such as the respiratory, the cardiovascular and the neurological system [1]. Exposure to tobacco derivatives has also early deleterious effects such as pregnancy losses, in utero fetal demise, increase morbidity and mortality [2, 3]. Beside these gestational consequences, long term effects are of major interest and abundant epidemiological data accumulates about the putative risks. A major scientific question is to be able to understand the mechanisms driving these long-term effects, inaccessible to the mere epidemiological analysis. A strong emerging idea is that epigenetics, particularly DNA methylation, might play a pivotal role in the fetal organic memory of the old injury originating from the mother smoking behavior. In a seminal paper of 2012, Joubert and coworkers demonstrated the existence of 26 significantly modified CpGs, from the systematic analysis of 1062 cord blood DNAs (representing marks on the newborn White Blood Cells). These CpGs were located in 10 genes, including AHRR, CYPA1, MYO1G, CNTNAP2 and GFI1 [4]. These differences were mild (around 20% of the methylation level at the maximum). Strikingly, and this is sufficiently rare to be stressed, further independent studies confirmed methylation anomalies at the same loci on 313 newborns [5]. About long-term effects, the same genes were found from birth until 17 years [6]. Following a drastic harmonization protocol, a metaanalysis performed in 2016 [7], that collected 13 newborn and 6 older children studies confirmed the previous findings. To note, it appeared that the gene GFI1 encompassed 10 significantly modified CpG in the gene body that all presented a decreased methylation level in samples from smoker pregnancies.The study published in this issue of EBioMedicine (Parmar et al.,[8]) was coordinated by Sylvain Sebert in Oulu in Finland and Marjo-Ritta Järvelin, in London St Mary's campus at the Imperial College in UK. The study focuses on the GFI1 locus and connects the abnormal DNA methylation at 8 CpG positions of this gene that are induced by prenatal
