In a case-control study an association was found between mothers' smoking habits and the frequency of dizygotic twinning. As cases were included all twins born in Denmark in 1984 and 1985. A random sample of 1.5% of mothers to singletons, born in the same period were selected as controls. Only live-borns, conceived after no hormonal treatment, were included in the study. The finding may be due to the well-known anti-estrogen effect of smoking.
