Article Synopsis
- Maternal smoking during pregnancy can lead to health issues, and using indoor air quality (IAQ) measurements helps in encouraging pregnant women to quit smoking.
- The study involved two interventions in Aberdeen and Coventry that included IAQ measurements and qualitative interviews with participants to understand their smoking behaviors.
- The findings revealed diverse experiences among the women, leading to a typology of smoking behaviors, indicating that while many expressed a desire to change, the presence of smoking partners posed a challenge to quitting.
