    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Public Health
    • Neonatal Medicine

    Background:

    • Pregnancy smoking is linked to severe adverse outcomes, including fetal and neonatal mortality.
    • The
    • constitutional hypothesis
    • suggests inherent factors, but evidence points to smoking as the primary cause.
    • Every cigarette smoked during pregnancy negatively impacts both the mother and the developing fetus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the preventable nature of adverse pregnancy outcomes linked to smoking.
    • To highlight the direct causal link between smoking and negative pregnancy consequences.
    • To advocate for smoking cessation during pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing evidence on smoking during pregnancy.
    • Analysis of the relationship between smoking and adverse fetal/neonatal outcomes.
    • Evaluation of the
    • constitutional hypothesis
    • versus direct smoking effects.

    Main Results:

    • Smoking during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for fetal and neonatal death.
    • The evidence strongly supports smoking itself, not inherent maternal constitution, as the cause of adverse outcomes.
    • Smoking cessation at any point during pregnancy offers benefits.

    Conclusions:

    • Adverse outcomes of smoking during pregnancy, including fetal and neonatal death, are preventable.
    • Smoking cessation is strongly advised for all pregnant individuals to protect maternal and infant health.
    • The detrimental effects of smoking on pregnancy necessitate urgent public health interventions and support for cessation.
