Abstract
Adverse effects of smoking during pregnancy are well known; yet globally, 53% of women who smoke daily continue to smoke daily during pregnancy.1 Smoking rates are also much higher among those from disadvantaged backgrounds. For example, 43% of Australian Indigenous pregnant women smoke, compared with 12% of nonindigenous pregnant women.2 Despite wanting to stop smoking, barriers such as continued smoking among social networks, lack of access to quit-smoking services, emotional stress (eg, intimate partner violence), pregnancy-related depression, and increased metabolism of nicotine during pregnancy may not allow smoking cessation to be achieved in all pregnant women who smoke.
