Active and Passive Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes: A Study From a Developing Country

Background: Smoking is one of the modifiable risk factors for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and is associated with low birth weight, preterm birth, respiratory, antepartum and intrapartum stillbirth, and perinatal death as well as long-term morbidity in offspring and sudden unexpected infant death. The rate of smoking in low- and middleincome countries is still relevantly high, and Jordan is no exception.
