Abstract
As shown in 17, 649 pregnancies, prepregnancy weights of smoking mothers are systematically lower than comparable weights of non‐smoking mothers appropriately corrected both for weight and per‐capita income. In similar fashion, weight gain between pregnancies is considerably smaller for women who smoke than for non‐smoking women of the same race.Keywords
