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.
孕期暴露于二手烟（SHS）可能会对母亲和婴儿产生不利影响。本研究调查了母亲暴露于二手烟与婴儿低出生体重（LBW）之间的关联。孕期吸烟与母亲和婴儿的多种并发症有关。为了研究孕期低出生体重与环境烟草烟雾暴露之间的关联，我们查阅了20篇文章。文章通过以下电子数据库获取：CINAHL Plus全文数据库（EBSCO）、PubMed、Embase和MEDLINE。本综述的结果显示，母亲暴露于环境烟雾与婴儿低出生体重以及许多其他不利影响相关。大多数研究发现二手烟对非吸烟女性所生孩子的出生体重有负面影响。因此，本综述有助于证实母亲暴露于二手烟与婴儿低出生体重之间的关联。
