- Title
Pregnancy Halts Smoking -- Briefly.
- Abstract
The article compares smokers who smoke less and smokers who smoke a lot during pregnancy. Almost two in five white women who smoke cigarettes stop smoking during pregnancy, the vast majority around the time they discover that they are pregnant. However, according to 1986 data from a national telephone survey, 71 percent of those who stop during pregnancy resume smoking within one year of their baby's birth, 27 percent before a month has elapsed. Nearly all of those who quit say they did so on their own, without the aid of a special program or counseling.
