Prevalence of Tobacco Use

 Approximately 13% of women reported smoking
during the last 3 months of pregnancy.
 Of women who smoked 3 months before
pregnancy, 45% quit during pregnancy.
 Among women who quit smoking during
pregnancy, 50% relapsed within 6 months after
delivery.
Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)
Predictors of
Smoking During Pregnancy

 A Smoking Partner

Tobacco 101

 Tobacco is a plant whose brown-colored leaves are
cured and dried. Tobacco may also be classified as a
drug.
 By definition, a drug is a nonfood substance that can
cause changes in the function of the body and/or
mind.
Types of Tobacco
Cancer-Causing Chemicals
Formaldehyde: Used to embalm dead bodies
Benzene: Found in gasoline
Polonium 210: Radioactive and very toxic
Vinyl chloride: Used to make pipes
Toxic Metals
Chromium: Used to make steel
Arsenic: Used in pesticides
Lead: Once used in paint
Cadmium: Used to make batteries
Poison Gases
Carbon monoxide: Found in car exhausts
Hydrogen cyanide: Used in chemical weapons
Ammonia: Used in household cleaners
Butane: Used in lighter fluid
Toluene: Found in paint thinners
There are over 4,000 chemicals in
tobacco smoke
599 Additives
At least 69 of those 4,000
chemicals are known to cause
cancer
Secondhand Smoke
Mainstream Smoke
(smokers inhale
about 15% of the
smoke from a
cigarette)
Sidestream Smoke
(smoke from the
burning end of the
cigarette)
Responsible for 3,000 lung cancer deaths in non-smokers each year
(Source: American Cancer Society)
Smokeless Tobacco

 Not a safe substitute for cigarettes
 Increases the risk for oral cancer and other health
problems
 Contains nicotine, the same addictive drug found in
cigarettes.
Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
 Frequent colds
 Emphysema
 Smoker’s Cough
 Heart Disease
 Gastric Ulcers
 Stroke
 Chronic Bronchitis
 Cancer
 Increase in heart rate
and blood pressure
 Premature aging
 Hardening of the
arteries
 Gum disease, recession
 Delayed wound healing
 Risk of developing
Type 2 diabetes is 2-3x
higher
Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
Video Clip - Smaller babies

Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
…on mom
 Difficulty getting pregnant
 Placenta separates from the womb too early, causing
bleeding
 Placenta covers the cervix, causing complications
 Water breaks too early
More studies needed: Possible adverse effect may
include pregnancy occurring outside of the womb
Centers for Disease Control
Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
…on family members
Children suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia,
hyperactivity, middle ear infections, upper respiratory
infections and are frequently hospitalized.
Teens are more likely to become
smokers when a parent smokes.
As a result, they will suffer
greater long-term health effects
such as cancer, heart disease and
progressive lung disease like
emphysema.
Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
…on the unborn baby
Of particular concern are carbon monoxide, nicotine
and oxidizing chemicals.
Nicotine may cause constrictions in the blood vessels of
the umbilical cord, thereby decreasing the amount of
oxygen available to the fetus. This increases the risk of
complications such as:
 Miscarriage
 Premature birth
 Stillbirth
 Spontaneous abortion
Adverse Effects of Tobacco Use
…on the newborn
Babies born to mothers who smoke during pregnancy
have an increased risk of:
 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
 Lower birth weight
 Mental retardation
 Brain dysfunction
 Respiratory infections
Facts about Quitting Smoking
 No matter what their age, most smokers want to quit
and most attempt to quit every year.
 Among current smokers, 70% report they want to
quit completely.
Interventions

a. Clinical Interventions
b. Five A’s
c. Brief Motivational Interviewing
d. Pharmacotherapy
e. Quit Line / Telephone Counseling
Clinical Interventions
Recommendation: All patients should be asked if they
use tobacco and should have their tobacco use status
documented on a regular basis.
Evidence has shown that clinic screening systems, such
as expanding the vital signs to include tobacco use
status or the use of other reminder systems such as
chart stickers or computer prompts, significantly
increase rates of clinician intervention. (Strength of
Evidence = A)
Clinical Interventions
Recommendation: All physicians should strongly
advise every patient who smokes to quit because
evidence shows that physician advice to quit smoking
increases abstinence rates. (Strength of Evidence = A)
Clinical Interventions
Recommendation: Minimal interventions lasting less than 3 minutes
increase overall tobacco abstinence rates. Every tobacco user should be
offered at least a minimal intervention, whether or not he or she is referred
to an intensive intervention. (Strength of Evidence = A)
Recommendation: There is a strong dose-response relation between the
session length of person-to-person contact and successful treatment
outcomes. Intensive interventions are more effective than less intensive
interventions and should be used whenever possible. (Strength of
Evidence = A)
Recommendation: Person-to-person treatment delivered for four or more
sessions appears especially effective in increasing abstinence rates.
Therefore, if feasible, clinicians should strive to meet four or more times
with individuals quitting tobacco use. (Strength of Evidence = A)
Five A’s
1. ASK the patient about smoking status at the first
prenatal visit and follow-up with her at subsequent
visits.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
I have NEVER smoked or have smoked < 100 cigarettes in my
lifetime
I stopped smoking BEFORE I found out I was pregnant…
I stopped smoking AFTER I found out I was pregnant…
I smoke some now, but I have cut down…
I smoke regularly now, about the same as before…
If a-c, Reinforce her decision to quit (or never start), congratulate
her on quitting, encourage her to remain smoke free.
If d-e, Document smoking status and proceed to next four A’s.
Five A’s
2. ADVISE the patient who smokes to stop by
providing advice to quit with information about the
risks of continued smoking to the woman, fetus, and
newborn.
3. ASSESS the patient’s willingness to attempt to quit
smoking at the time. Quitting advice, assessment,
and motivational assistance should be offered at
subsequent prenatal care visits.
Five A’s
4. ASSIST the patient who is interested in quitting by
providing pregnancy-specific, self-help smoking
cessation materials.
Support the importance of having smoke free space at
home and seeking out a “quitting buddy,” such as a
former smoker or nonsmoker.
Encourage the patient to talk about the process of
quitting. Offer a direct referral to the smoker’s quit line
(1-800-QUIT NOW) to provide ongoing counseling and
support.
Five A’s
5. ARRANGE follow-up visits to track the progress of
the patient’s attempt to quit smoking. For current
and former smokers, smoking status should be
monitored and recorded throughout pregnancy,
providing opportunities to congratulate and
support success, reinforce steps taken towards
quitting and advise those still considering a
cessation attempt.

Brief Motivational Interviewing
Recommendation: Motivational intervention techniques appear to
be effective in increasing a patient’s likelihood of making a future
quit attempt. Therefore, clinicians should use motivational
techniques to encourage smokers who are not currently willing to
quit to consider making a quit attempt in the future. (Strength of
Evidence = B)
Motivational interviewing is a technique whereby clinicians focus
on the patient’s desire to quit smoking, by developing an
awareness of the discordance between knowledge and behavior,
and then supporting patient’s self-efficacy in achieving that desire.
There are 4 principles of motivational interviewing:
Express empathy,
Develop discrepancy,
Roll with resistance, and
Support self-efficacy.
Pharmacotherapy
Nicotine Replacement Products
 Patch
 Gum
 Inhaler
 Nasal Spray
 Lozenge
Pharmaceuticals
 Bupropion (Zyban)
Pharmacotherapy
“The use of nicotine replacement products or other
pharmaceuticals for smoking cessation aids during
pregnancy and lactation have not been sufficiently
evaluated to determine their efficacy or safety.”
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2009
Pharmacotherapy
“Pregnant smokers should be encouraged to attempt
cessation using educational and behavioral
interventions before using pharmacological
approaches. Treatment with nicotine replacement
therapy during pregnancy requires that the mother be
well informed about the potential risks vs. benefits.”
Benowitz, Dempsey Nicotine & Tobacco Research, February
2003
Pharmacotherapy
“The use of nicotine replacement therapy should be
undertaken with close supervision and after careful
consideration and discussion with the patient of the
known risks of continued smoking and the possible
risks of nicotine replacement therapy.”
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,
2010
Quit Line /
Telephone Counseling
Recommendation: Proactive telephone counseling,
group counseling, and individual counseling formats
are effective and should be used in smoking cessation
interventions. (Strength of Evidence = A)
Quit lines offer information, direct support, and
ongoing counseling, and have been very successful in
helping pregnant smokers quit and remain smoke free.
