Analysis of smoking cessation beliefs in pregnant smokers and ex-smokers using the Theory of Planned Behavior

ConclusionOur results suggest that attitude, subjective norms, support especially from the partner, and perceived behavioral control are associated with actual smoking behavior in pregnant women and not with intention to quit smoking. It is important to engage the partner and/or significant others in smoking cessation counselling so that they can support the pregnant woman in an attempt to quit or to maintain abstinence.
