“…This was in line with previous research that showed that there were prominent socioeconomic differences between women who continued smoking during pregnancy and those who did not. 26,27 An association between marital status and smoking during pregnancy was found in the present study. There was around a 1.5 times greater risk of continuing smoking during pregnancy among unmarried women, and this finding was consistent with previous research indicating that unmarried women had the highest prevalence of smoking.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Smoking during pregnancy is an important risk factor for maternal and infant health that is preventable. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with smoking behavior during pregnancy. DESIGN AND SETTING: A household-based probability sample survey of 1,510 women was conducted in the center of the city of Sivas, Turkey, between September 2013 and May 2014. METHODS: The prevalence of smoking during pregnancy was estimated according to independent variables by means of regression analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of smoking during pregnancy was 16.5%. Logistic regression showed that being at a relatively young age (odds ratio, OR = 1.92, P = 0.025 for 15-24 age group; and OR = 2.45, P = 0.001 for 25-34 age group), having a low educational level (OR = 1.76, P = 0.032), being unmarried (OR = 1.48, P = 0.002) and living in an extended family (OR = 1.98, P = 0.009) were the factors associated with the risk of smoking during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: Systematic attention should be paid to socioeconomic inequalities, to support women towards quitting smoking before or at an early stage of their pregnancies. Younger women and particularly those in lower socioeconomic groups should be targeted. This will lead to better pregnancy status, especially among young women.

Objective: Smoking during pregnancy leads to serious health problems in the mother and the foetus. In our study, we determined the prevalence of smoking during pregnancy and associated factors in Tekirdağ. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2009 in, Tekirdağ. The sample size was calculated as 762 pregnant women. A probability sampling technique was used for sampling; the response rate was 98.3%. Results: The rates for daily and occasional smokers, respectively, were found to be 8.0% and 2.8% in our sample. The total rate of smoking prevalence during pregnancy was found to be 10.8%. Among women who did not smoke during pregnancy, 35.8% were exposed to passive smoke in their homes; 17.5% of pregnant women quit smoking, and 61.8% of these women were able to quit without medical support. We also found that the partner's smoking status, household income had a considerable effect on the smoking behaviour of pregnant women. Conclusions: Primary Health Care Units (PHCUs) must provide information on the dangers of smoking to pregnant women and offer encouragement and support to those who wish to quit. Those who successfully quit should also be helped to avoid postpartum smoking relapse, to which end awareness campaigns and programs need to be developed.

“…Data of Hannöver et al (2008) and Schneider et al (2008), also show that birth of a child and breastfeeding are the motivation for smoking cessation. According to this understanding, smoking is allowed until the birth of a child and this is not condemnable , which was also proved by the research for fathers, described by Giglia et al (2006), where most fathers stopped smoking after the birth of a child explaining that with a feeling that until the birth, the expected child was not real yet.…”

“…From the article of Lanting et al (2009) it turns out that convincing not to light a cigarette is more efficient than blaming, which contains a smoking cessation plan. Several researchers show that pregnancy may be a strong motivator to quit smoking remarked by Hannõver et al (2008) and Schneider et al ( 2008). The factors that constrain smoking cessation are anxiety and anger as brought out by Agrawal et al (2008), also depression by Martin et al (2008).…”

24Urve KaasikAaslav, Mare Vanatoa, Ene Kotka Backround: Worldwide, approximately 1 billion people, from which 200250 million are women, smoke. Based on the Estonian Medical Birth Register data, in 2010, 7,5% of pregnant women were smokers, and in 2012, 7% of pregnant women were smoking during their pregnancy. Thus, smoking rates among pregnant women fell only 0,5%. The objective of the research was to find out the views of pregnant women who were smoking during pregnancy of the effect of smoking on the health of them and their babies, and experiences in quitting smoking, changing indicators, e.g. smoking and socioeconomical status (initial exposure to smoking, employment, longterm partnerships etc.) in 20092013.Methods: This research is a phenomenological study, which was being carried out from October 2009 until January 2013. Data collection methods were semistructured interviews with 45 pregnant women smoking during their pregnancy and being registered for antenatal care in three health care institutions of Republic of Estonia. An inductive approach for qualitative analysis was used.Results: Most women smoking during pregnancy started smoking in their teens, their parents smoked, they were under 30 years old housewives or unemployed. On an average of 1120 cigarettes were consumed each day, the pregnancy of the research group did not influence frequency and tobacco intake. The participants in the research group reported that tobacco consumption helped them relax, gave them a chance to spend time in a good company, and it was not regarded as a bad habit but a social addiction, being caused by availability of tobacco products. Although most of them had an opinion about harmful effects of smoking, e.g. a cough, asthma and rapid fatigue, on the health of them and less on their expected babies, they continued smoking.Conclusions: The smoking and socioeconomical status of women smoking during pregnancy in 20092013 has not changed, health awareness of them is low and has not improved. Support groups with close relatives are needed to motivate cessation. In the first place, prevention needs a good example, purposeful cooperation, which starts in daily life context at homes, in educational institutions and in the community. Limiting the availability of tobacco products, postponing and preventing an initial exposure to smoking are thought to be of great importance. The results of the research will be introduced in health care institutions and they can be used in the health promotion process.
