Abstract
This update discusses the evidence to link maternal smoking during pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcome, and also the potential long-term effects on health of in-utero exposure to tobacco smoke. Smoking cessation strategies will also be considered.

201 Citations2000Kevin C. Chung, Christine P. Kowalski +2 more
A significant association was found between any amount of maternal cigarette use during pregnancy and having a child with cleft lip/palate and a significant trend in the dose-response relationship strongly suggests the association of smoking tobacco and this common congenital deformity.

157 Citations2000Carlo C. DiClemente
Pregnancy and the postpartum period provide a window of opportunity to promote smoking cessation and smoke free families and understanding obstacles and pathways for pregnancy and postpartums smoking cessation can guide implementation of effective existing programs and development of new ones.

American Journal of Preventive MedicineA Cost-Benefit/Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Smoking Cessation for Pregnant Women
119 Citations1990James S. Marks, Jeffrey P. Koplan +2 more
A smoking cessation program offered to all pregnant smokers would shift 5,876 LBW infants to normal birthweight and would cost about $4,000 for each LBW infant prevented, arguing for routinely including smoking cessation programs in prenatal care for smokers.

110 Citations2000Anna A. Lindley
Stopping smoking between the first prenatal care visit and the 32nd week of pregnancy prevented smoking-associated deficits in infant birth weight, head circumference, and brain:body weight ratio, but did not completely prevent deficits in crown-heel length.
