Abstract:
The numerous researches confirmed that cigarette smoking during pregnancy negatively affects unborn fetus. A survey of 330 pregnant women hospitalized in ICZMP in Łódź was performed; 257 women agreed to participate in the study. Smoking prevalence was 9.2% and 73% women quit successfully smoking while pregnant or near to pregnancy. Smoking cessation is higher among older, wealthier and better educated women. According to the Mental Health factor of SF36v2 health related quality of life (HRQL) survey, women who quit smoking successfully have better psychological well-being, than that who smoked during pregnancy.
