  • Pregnancy represents a unique period for potential behavioral change in women.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the impact of pregnancy on women's smoking habits.
  • To determine if pregnancy cessation or reduction in smoking is influenced by social or lifestyle factors.

Summary:

  • A study interviewed 140 pregnant women (mean age 33.05, mean gestational age 28.56 weeks).
  • Participants completed questionnaires on social status, lifestyle (CAGE, SQQ), and smoking behavior.
  • Findings indicate a general decrease in smoking during pregnancy.
