Abstract
Exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy negatively affects pregnancy outcomes. When a pregnant woman is exposed to tobacco smoke, her fetus is also exposed, such exposure is harmful for the fetus, both in the immediate and long term. In the short term, fetal tobacco exposure increases the risk of pregnancy complications (e.g. premature birth) and impairs fetal growth. In the long term, infants born to women who smoked during pregnancy have higher rates of infant and childhood illness and death. The more a woman smokes, the greater the risk of poor pregnancy, infant or childhood health outcomes (Forest, 2010).The aim of this study was to determine the effects of passive smoking on pregnancy outcomes.
