“…However, intensive nutritional trials have achieved only a 30 g increment in the birthweight of infants of women who received a supplement 16 and trials achieving a reduction of 11-26% in smoking rates found an increase of 36-57 g in birthweight. 17 Hence, finding that the 2 kg increase in maternal weight at last clinic visit over time was associated with a 30 g increase in infant birthweight is of the same order of magnitude as other work. Although pre-pregnancy weight and weight gain are associated with about the same effect on infant birthweight, there is greater variation in pre-pregnancy weight and so changes in prepregnancy weight would have the greater influence at the population level.…”

“…24 The most effective intervention studies require substantial effort and funds and can hardly be integrated into routine antenatal care. Our study presents substantial evidence that the prevalence of smoking among pregnant women and the smoking-related attributable risk of small-for-gestationalage births have decreased dramatically during the last decade.…”

“…While the impact of maternal smoking on the fetus has received considerable attention in the medical literature (Kramer 1987), with its deleterious effects ranging from low birth weight and other birth defects, to childhood and adult asthma and lower cognitive functioning (Horta, Victora, Menezes, Halpern, and Barros 1997;Sayer and Kleinenman 2002;Weitzman, Gortmaker, Walker, and Sobol 1990;Dolan-Mullen, Ramirez, and Groff 1994), the impacts of exposure to second hand smoke is less well studied. On the policy side, while many papers have examined the immediate impacts of taxes or smoking bans on smoking behavior (Brownson, Hopkins, and Wakefield 2002;Eagan, Hetland, and Aarø 2006;Farkas, Gilpin, Distefan, and Pierce 1999;Bitler, Carpenter, and Zavodny 2011;Anger, Kvasnicka, and Siedler 2011), few papers in the economics literature have examined the consequences of such policies on birth outcomes.…”
