Abstract

In recent years, the smoking rate has been decreasing in men and increasing in women. It is about 20% in pregnant women. Smoking during pregnancy may pose risks such as fetal retardation of growth and premature separation of normally implanted placenta. Conventional antismoking guidance is insufficient in its effects. Thus our hospital launched a brief (about 2.5 minutes) antismoking session called "Light" to encourage more outpatient smokers to quit smoking. We compared the success rate of smoking cessation between the Light session and the antismoking outpatient service to find effective methods for antismoking guidance. In pregnant women, the success rate was 27.8% in the Light session and 88.9% in the antismoking outpatient service. The guidance time required for a pregnant woman to quit smoking was 9 minutes in Light and 101 minutes in the outpatient service. The number of pregnant women who successfully quit smoking per hour of antismoking guidance was 6.7 in Light and 0.6 in the outpatient service. Therefore, even brief antismoking guidance such as Light can be effective. Light is a model of antismoking guidance applicable to busy clinical practice. Combining Light with the antismoking outpatient service and other antismoking measures will encourage more smokers to quit smoking. [Adv Obstet Gynecol, 59 (2) : 71-76, 2007 (H19.5)]<br>
