title: Smoking cessation in pregnancy.
abstract: One in four pregnant women smokes throughout pregnancy and these women tend to be young, single, of lower educational achievement and in manual occupations. About 25 per cent of pregnant smokers stop for part of their pregnancy, mostly within the first trimester, but 75 per cent return to smoking after the birth of their child (Owen and Penn, 1999).
