“…The impact of active smoking on BW was significant and dose-response related, as expected, considering current knowledge (22,23). In addition to smoking, the regression models included a spectrum of other covariates (see "Materials and Methods").…”

We studied the impact of maternal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on birth weight (BW), low birth weight (LBW), and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) according to self-reported maternal smoking habits in a sample of 6,866 singleton births. We obtained data about parental characteristics and maternal active smoking (AS) and passive smoking at delivery via maternal questionnaires and medical records. We used three categories of smoking habits (nonsmokers and those who smoked 1-10 or >10 cigarettes per day) and defined ETS exposure as greater than or equal to 5 cigarettes per day smoked by others in the mother's presence. We used multiple regression and logistic regression procedures with adjustment for many associated covariates. We observed a significant reduction of the mean BW in infants of AS mothers. This reduction was only marginal for mothers who stopped smoking after recognizing their pregnancy. ETS exposure in 1,797 of 5,507 nonsmoking mothers reduced the mean BW of their infants by 53 g [95% confidence interval (CI), 24-82 g]. ETS exposure also significantly reduced BW in babies of AS mothers by 92 g (CI, 21-113 g) compared with BW of ETS-nonexposed AS mothers. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of LBW for ETS-exposed AS mothers was two times the LBW risk of ETS-nonexposed AS mothers(2.02; CI, 1.11-3.67); the AOR of ETS-exposed nonsmoking mothers was 1.51 (CI, 1.02-2.26). The AOR of IUGR for this group did not differ from unity (1.08; CI, 0.82-1.43). However, ETS exposure increased the AOR of IUGR for AS mothers from 1.64 (CI, 1.06-2.53) to 2.13 (CI, 1.70-2.67). ETS exposure reduced the BW of infants of nonsmoking mothers and contributed to additional BW reduction in infants of AS mothers. ETS exposure increased the risk of LBW but not that of IUGR in babies of nonsmoking mothers.

“…Ong et al (2002) similarly reported a relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and rapid weight gain during the infant's first 12 months. Furthermore, maternal smoking is known to be a risk factor for LBW infants (Matsubara et al 2000;Tsukamoto et al 2007;Leonardi-Bee et al 2008). Mizutani et al (2007) previously showed that a mother's smoking during pregnancy was associated with her child's obesity at five years, possibly due to early rapid weight gain.…”

“…8,11 LBW is a worldwide problem both in developed countries and in developing countries. The World Health Organization defines LBW as any birthweight Ͻ 2,500 g. 13,[18][19][20] The more than 20 million LBW infants born annually worldwide, 96% of whom are born in developing countries, represent 16% of all births. 13 LBW newborns are considered to be at high risk for health issues such as growth retardation, infectious diseases, and developmental delay, and LBW is the single most important risk factor for neonatal death.…”

Association Between Exposure to Secondhand Smoke During Pregnancy and Low Birthweight: A Narrative Review

2014

Exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) during pregnancy may have adverse effects on the mother and infant. This study investigates the association of maternal exposure to SHS with low birthweight (LBW) in infants. Smoking during pregnancy has been linked to multiple complications for both mother and infant. To examine association of LBW and environmental tobacco smoke exposure during pregnancy, we reviewed 20 articles. Articles were accessed using the following electronic databases: CINAHL Plus with full text (EBSCO), PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE. The findings of this review revealed that maternal exposure to environmental smoke is correlated with LBW in infants as well as numerous other adverse effects. The majority of the studies found negative consequences of SHS on the birthweight of infants born to nonsmoking women. Thus, this review helps to confirm the association between maternal exposure to SHS and LBW in infants.
