Cigarette smoking during pregnancy affects the unborn fetus. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the smoking status of pregnant women before, during and after pregnancy in the Yamato and Ayase municipalities, Kanagawa, Japan; (2) the characteristics that differentiate successful spontaneous smoking quitters from continuous smokers during pregnancy; and (3) the awareness of risks of smoking that may influence smoking cessation during pregnancy. A community-based, cross-sectional survey of 420 postpartum women, who delivered their babies from July 2002 to October 2002, was performed. Out of 420 respondents, 275 (65.4%) did not smoke before and during pregnancy. Of the 145 women who smoked before pregnancy, 101 (69.3%) quit successfully while pregnant. Smoking prevalence during pregnancy was 10.4%. Out of 101 successful quitters during pregnancy, 22 (21.8%) women resumed smoking after childbirth. A multiple regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of smoking cessation during pregnancy were primiparous women and women living with non-smokers in the household. Although maternal age predicted smoking cessation in a simple regression analysis, this predictive value was lost in the multiple analysis. A simple analysis showed no significant association between the awareness of smoking risks and smoking cessation during pregnancy. It is suggested that Japanese smokers are more likely to quit while pregnant than women in other countries. In the future, smoking cessation programmes should be designed to help multiparous women and women living with smokers to give up smoking.
