Urgent need for anti-smoking campaigns to continue after pregnancy
Curtin University research has found quit support for smoking mothers should continue even after their first babies are born, given that many of those women will become pregnant again, and that quitting can substantially reduce the risk of future preterm births.
The longitudinal study examined the records and histories across 23 years, of 63,540 Australian women with more than one child, who smoked during their first pregnancy.
Lead researcher, Professor Gavin Pereira form Curtin’s School of Population Health said more than one third of women who smoked during pregnancy were able to stop smoking for their next pregnancy.

Lead researcher, Professor Gavin Pereira form Curtin s School of Population Health said more than one third of women who smoked during pregnancy were able to stop smoking for their next pregnancy. Our research found that for more than 30 percent of smoking mothers-to-be, quitting for their next pregnancies was achievable, and importantly could reduce the risk of early birth in subsequent pregnancy by as much as 26 per cent, Professor Pereira said.
