Abstract
Our findings suggest that the risk of oral clefts associated with maternal smoking is largest among underweight mothers, although the smoking-BMI interaction is strongest for cleft lip only and cleft palate only. BMI was not protective for the effects of smoking; a clinically relevant increase in smoking-related cleft risk was still present among heavier women.
