“…In a hospital‐based cross‐sectional study conducted in Pune, India, the risk of stillbirth was estimated to be three times higher (5% vs. 1.7%) among tobacco chewers than in non‐chewers .

“…The prevalence of current STC and risk of stillbirth among women in South Asia are very high compared with high‐income countries . The only two studies conducted so far on the association between STC and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Bangladesh did not measure the association between the dose of STC and adverse pregnancy outcomes and failed to account for several known confounders. In this study, we estimate the risk of stillbirth among Bangladeshi rural women during their first pregnancy.…”
STC during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth. This finding adds to the urgency of need for smokeless tobacco control strategies to be implemented in South Asia.

“…A retrospective cohort study was carried out in Sylhet, Bangladesh showed preterm delivery was higher in ST user group (odd ratio 3:1 and p<0.01) than non ST user. 14…”
Background:Smokeless tobacco is an established cause of adverse pregnancy outcome. Preterm deliveries are quite high(14%) in our country and approximately 39% women in Bangladesh use smokeless tobacco (ST).Objective: To determine the outcome of maternal smokeless tobacco ingestion during pregnancy in delivery of preterm babies.Methods: A retrospective case control study was carried out in the department of Pediatrics & department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Dhaka Medical College Hospital between July 2010 to June 2011. Immediately after admission, detailed history of the newborn baby & mother was taken. A total of 100 cases (preterm babies) and 100 suitably matched controls (sick term neonates) were enrolled. Every case satisfying the selection criteria (inclusion & exclusion criteria) was enrolled in the study. The mother was asked whether she used to use smokeless tobacco (jorda, shada or gul) during pregnancy and about frequency and duration of ingestion of ST.Results: Baseline characteristics of cases and controls were comparable. ST user mothers of preterm babies used ST about 5 times a day. Maternal smokeless tobacco (ST) use during pregnancy was significantly associated (46%) with the delivery of preterm babies (p<0.001) and carries a risk of 2.7 times than that of non ST users.Conclusion: Maternal ST use ?5 times a day during pregnancy increases 2.7 folds risk of delivery of preterm babies than that of non-ingested.Bangladesh J Child Health 2016; VOL 40 (3) :135-138
“…It is well documented that tobacco use in either smoked or smokeless form can harm not only the pregnancy but also the fetus 3,5,8,27,28 . However, in this study, less than 25% (lowest of 1.9% to highest of 23.5%) of respondents in rural areas mentioned the negative impact of tobacco use on pregnancy outcomes, which was unsatisfactory.…”

“…Also, smokeless tobacco use during pregnancy can have a higher risk of pregnancy complications with unfavorable fetal outcomes. Moreover, maternal exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) in pregnancy may affect the birth-weight of newborns [2][3][4][5] . Studies from Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa indicate an increased risk of infant and child mortality due to tobacco smoke exposure 6,7 .…”
INTRODUCTION Tobacco use is recognized as the most important preventable risk factor for pregnancy complications and undesirable fetal outcomes. This study examined the reported prevalence of tobacco use among married men and women residing in rural areas, and their knowledge on the risks of tobacco use during pregnancy and the factors associated with tobacco use. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted within 32 villages in the delta region of Myanmar, randomly selected through multistage sampling procedure by using a pre-tested structured questionnaire during 2016. In all, 617 people participated in the household survey. RESULTS About 80% of current smokers (109/128) smoked at home, of whom 16% reported the presence of a pregnant woman in their smoking area. Less than 25% of the respondents were aware of the negative impacts of tobacco use on pregnancy outcomes. Men had significantly lower perceived risk towards smoking on some pregnancy outcomes. Multivariate analysis confirmed the significant influence of male gender (adjusted OR, AOR=12.62; 95% CI: 6.30-25.29) and the age of women <35 years (AOR=3.51; 95% CI: 1.97-6.26) on current tobacco use, when controlling for other variables. CONCLUSIONS Men in the study villages and those with a low level of education had poor knowledge on the risks of tobacco on pregnancy outcomes. However, good knowledge and perceived risk of undesirable impacts on pregnancy did not have any influence on tobacco use.
