Abstract Introduction Despite the health risks of smoking, some women continue smoking during pregnancy. Professional smoking cessation support (SCS) has shown to be effective in increasing the proportion of women who quit smoking during pregnancy. However, few women actually make use of professional SCS. The aim of this study is to investigate the needs of women and their partners for professional SCS. Methods Semi-structured interviews were held with pregnant women and recent mothers who smoked or quit smoking during pregnancy, and their partners, living in the North of the Netherlands. Recruitment was done via Facebook, LinkedIn, food banks, baby stores and healthcare professionals. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and thematically analyzed. Results 28 interviews were conducted, 23 with pregnant women and recent mothers, and five with partners of the women. The following themes were identified: 1) Understanding women's needs, 2) Responsibility without criticism, and 3) Women and their social network. These themes reflect that women need support from an involved and understanding healthcare professional, who holds women responsible for smoking cessation but refrains from criticism. Women also prefer involvement of their social network in the professional support. Conclusions For tailored support, the guideline for professional SCS may need some adaptations, and women and their partners should be involved in the development of future guidelines. Women prefer healthcare professionals to address smoking cessation in a neutral way and to respect their autonomy in the decision to stop smoking.

The Common

Abstract Smoking during pregnancy has negative health consequences for maternal and children’s health, e.g. an increased chance of an ectopic pregnancy, low birth weight, still birth and childhood asthma. To facilitate smoking cessation during pregnancy, many guidelines for healthcare professionals have been developed to support women to quit smoking. With an estimated prevalence of 8.1%, the European Region has the highest prevalence of smoking during pregnancy compared to other regions in the world. The objective of this workshop is to combine the knowledge around smoking during pregnancy (e.g. pregnant women' experiences with smoking, the development and implementation of guidelines, smoking cessation support). The workshop consists of three presentations about projects focusing on smoking cessation interventions. The first presentation (Stella Weiland) will be about women and significant others their needs for professional smoking cessation support. The second presentation (Cristian Meghea) presents the effectiveness of the Quit Together Trial. The third presentation (David Tappin) will be about incentives for smoking cessation in pregnancy. After these three presentations, a discussion will be held among the participants of the workshop. The discussion will focus on the common elements of the different interventions and the identification of aspects which are perceived to be successful to facilitate smoking cessation of pregnant women. During this discussion, new approaches, experiences in daily practice and best practices can be shared about smoking and smoking cessation of pregnant women. A few statements, formulated by the researchers participating in this workshop, will be provided as input for the discussion. Key messages The European region has the highest prevalence of smoking during pregnancy. Knowledge on effective interventions should be combined and shared to facilitate smoking cessation during pregnancy.

Pregnant Smokers

Approximately 15% of US women currently smoke during pregnancy. An important step toward providing effective smoking cessation interventions during pregnancy is to identify individuals who are more likely to encounter difficulty quitting. Pregnant smokers frequently report smoking in response to intrapersonal factors (e.g., negative emotions), but successful cessation attempts can also be influenced by interpersonal factors (i.e., influence from close others). This study examined the association between emotion regulation difficulties, positive and negative social control (e.g., encouragement, criticism), and smoking cessation-related variables (i.e., smoking quantity, withdrawal symptoms) among pregnant smokers. Data were drawn from the pretreatment wave of a smoking cessation trial enrolling low-income pregnant women who self-reported smoking in response to negative affect (N = 73). Greater emotion regulation difficulties were related to greater smoking urges (b = 0.295, p = .042) and withdrawal symptoms (b = 0.085, p = .003). Additionally, more negative social control from close others was related to fewer smoking days (b = -0.614, p = .042) and higher smoking abstinence self-efficacy (b = 0.017, p = .002). More positive social control from close others interacted with negative affect smoking (b = -0.052, p = .043); the association between negative affect smoking and nicotine dependence (b = 0.812, p < .001) only occurred at low levels of positive social control. Findings suggest that emotion regulation difficulties may contribute to smoking during pregnancy by exacerbating women's negative experiences related to smoking cessation attempts. Negative social control was related to lower smoking frequency and greater confidence in quitting smoking, suggesting that it may assist pregnant smokers' cessation efforts. Positive social control buffered women from the effects of negative affect smoking on nicotine dependence.

The Impact

Abstract Background Recently, the parent-tailored telephone based smoking cessation counseling program ‘Smoke-free Parents’ was shown to be effective in helping parents to quit smoking. To implement this program in child healthcare settings in the Netherlands, the research team developed a proactive referral tool to refer parents to Smoke-free Parents. The aim of the present implementation study was to explore the facilitators, barriers, and suggestions for improvement in the implementation of this referral tool. Methods Child healthcare professionals (N = 68) were recruited via multiple strategies (e.g., social media, mailings, and word of mouth among healthcare professionals) and invited to complete two online (quantitative and qualitative) questionnaires and to participate in a telephone semi-structured qualitative interview between April 2017 and February 2019. In total, 65 child healthcare professionals were included in the analyses. After inductive coding, thematic analyses were performed on the qualitative data. Descriptive analyses were performed on the quantitative data. Results The data from both questionnaires and the telephone interview revealed that the majority of the child healthcare professionals (92.3 % female; average years of working as a healthcare professional: 23.0) found the Smoke-free Parents referral tool accessible and convenient to use. Yet there were several barriers that limited their use of the tool. The data revealed that one of the main barriers that healthcare professionals experienced was parental resistance to smoking cessation assistance. In addition, healthcare professionals noted that they experienced tension when motivating parents to quit smoking, as they were not the parent’s, but the child’s healthcare provider. Additionally, healthcare professionals reported being concerned about the lack of information about the costs of Smoke-free Parents, which limited professionals referring parents to the service. Conclusions Although healthcare professionals reported rather positive experiences with the Smoke-free Parents referral tool, the use of the tool was limited due to barriers. To increase the impact of the Smoke-free Parents telephone-based smoking cessation counseling program via child healthcare settings, it is important to overcome these barriers. Suggestions for improvement in the implementation of the referral tool in child healthcare settings are discussed.

Tobacco smoking causes a lot of human deseases and is one of the main reasons of premature death. Smoking cessation is very important for the patient's health but difficult for them due to development of nicotine dependence. Tobacco dependence is a chronic disease. Smoking Cessation Clinical Practice Guideline, published in 2008, emphasize the dire health consequences of tobacco dependence, regulate the way of treating patients who want to quit smoking, recommending the use of effective treatments, including counseling and medications. Seven first-line medications (5 nicotine and 2 non-nicotine, including Varenicline) that reliably increase long-term smoking abstinence rates are now available. Smoking cessation is accompanied by a moderate weigh gain. And its a strong motivational factor to continue smoking, espcially for women. Сounseling, healthy food and physical activity are recommended for such patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the social and family relationships of pregnant women and to analyze their influence in keep smoking during pregnancy. Method: it is a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach, which had as subjects 10 pregnant smokers. Data were collected from January to March / 2015, through interviews, and organized into graphical representations of the genogram/ecomap and discourse units. Results: pregnant women had low educational level, precarious insertion in the work market and relations of great dependence of the family. Tobacco consumption integrates the family environment and is viewed naturally in the sociocultural environment. In prenatal care, there was no coordinated and longitudinal intervention for smoking cessation. Conclusion: smoking cessation is strongly influenced by the social environment, and the family is an important component of this network. In this sense, strategies to approach smoking should allow a reflection of the norms and rules of the family.

Tobacco smoking is a well-established risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS) onset, progression and poor health outcomes in people with MS. Despite smoking being a modifiable risk factor, no research has been undertaken to understand how, or who is best placed, to assess or understand smoking behaviour in people with MS, or how healthcare professionals can best assist people with MS to quit. People with MS may have unique motivators to continue smoking, or unique barriers to smoking cessation, that are not addressed by existing cessation tools. Research is urgently needed in this area if the aim is to maximise health outcomes for all people with MS.

Frequent Relapse

Abstract Background: Most smokers attempt to quit smoking, but few are successful. Data regarding the reasons for this relapse and the course of the relapse process may be helpful for determining efficient methods of smoking cessation. This study aimed to identify the causes of and scenarios associated with smoking relapse after effective smoking cessation. Methods: We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with smokers who had previously unsuccessfully attempted to quit. The data underwent qualitative content analysis. Results: Three major themes were identified: Reasons for smoking relapse; Smoking relapse scenarios; and Perception of the influence of personal environments, including family and physicians, on refraining from smoking after cessation. The first theme comprised the following subthemes: insufficient willpower and self-discipline, contact with smokers, exposure to stressful situations, lack of family support, weight gain, and insufficient improvement in one’s mental and physical well-being. The second theme contained enjoyable social events, professional life, critical events, and encouragement to smoke from family members. The respondents frequently emphasized the large role of interaction with other smokers. Conclusions: The predominant factors underlying smoking relapse include insufficient willpower and self-discipline and exposure to stress. The most frequent relapse scenario concerned experiencing negative or positive emotions when interacting with other smokers.
