The study covered 681,123 girls born in Sweden during the years 1982 to 1995.
The girls were followed until the year 2010 for a diagnosis of PCOS, during which time 3738 girls were diagnosed.
The authors state: "Maternal smoking and increased BMI appear to increase the risk of PCOS in offspring."
Research has been published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Mandy Forrester, head of quality and standards at the RCM, said: "This is more evidence about the importance of women at the very least reducing smoking before and during pregnancy and ideally stopping altogether. What is a concern is that we are seeing threats to smoking cessation services as public health budgets are cut.
"On a general level obesity is linked to an increase in complications in pregnancy for the mother and baby and as this research shows, possibly other negative effects also. It is very important that women are at a healthy weight before and during pregnancy, and indeed afterwards for their general health."
