The relationship between cadmium zinc and birth weight in pregnant women who smoke
101
TL;DR: The results suggest that increased maternal cadmium and decreased cord vein red blood cell zinc levels in infants of smokers may be significant clinically since increased maternal whole blood cadmiam and decreased Cord vein redBloodBloodCell zinc levels are both significantly related to decreased birth weight.

Interactions between cadmium and zinc in the organism.
TL;DR: In this paper, the interactions between zinc and cadmium in humans and animals are discussed on the basis of the available literature and their own results, against the background of general population exposure to Cd and common nutritional deficiency of Zn.

Risks and Benefits of Nicotine to Aid Smoking Cessation in Pregnancy
TL;DR: A national registry for NRT use during pregnancy should be created to prospectively collect obstetrical outcome data from NRT efficacy trials and from individual use to determine the safety of NRTUse during pregnancy, especially with respect to uncommon outcomes such as placental abruption.

Determinants of maternal zinc status during pregnancy
TL;DR: This paper reviews humans studies of zinc status and pregnancy outcome, describes the physiologic adjustments in zinc utilization during pregnancy to meet fetal needs while maintaining maternal status, and identifies dietary and environmental conditions that may override those physiological adjustments and put the health of the mother and fetus at risk.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the consequences of metal delivery to the human body by cigarette smoking and discusses the body's responses, and links individual cigarette smoke contained metals to the genesis of human diseases.

TL;DR: The possibility that intrinsic iron in formulas for feeding infants and in vitamin-mineral supplement might inhibit the absorption of zinc justifies concern about the Fe/Zn ratio in the formulation of these products.

Smoking during pregnancy: a review of effects on growth and development of offspring
TL;DR: Although there is no longer any doubt that maternal smoking is related to retarded and impaired fetal development, interpretation of these data as to causality is still controversial and the various hypotheses associated with their interpretation will be examined.
