In reading the article, "Moms who smoke after delivery breastfeed less", I 
noticed this paragraph:

'The shorter duration of breastfeeding among smokers may be partly due to 
hormonal factors such as lower prolactin levels and decreased breastmilk 
production among smokers, or to the lower fat content of smokers' 
breastmilk, all of which has been shown in previous research.'

Anyone have the research mentioned on the lower fat content of smokers' 
milk?
