- Abstract
Maintenance of abstinence from cigarettes during pregnancy yields important benefits for both women and children, yet only 20%-30% of pregnancy cessation lasts 1 year postpartum. This paper reviews accumulated knowledge about factors that influence restarting smoking and the effectiveness of interventions to decrease it. Evidence from six trials and six multivariate predictor studies is provided, supplemented by qualitative and more focused quantitative studies. Studies were international, with diverse candidate predictors, intensity and timing of interventions, theory, designs, and measures of quitting and of maintenance postpartum.
