Tobacco chewing in pregnancy

K Krishna. Br J Obstet Gynaecol. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

The effects of tobacco chewing by pregnant women were investigated. When compared with those who did not do so, tobacco-chewing mothers had a greatly increased stillbirth rate, a low male : female infant sex ratio and a major reduction in birth weight which was due in large part to early delivery.
