Factors Associated With Postpartum Smoking Relapse Among Women Who Quit in Early Pregnancy: The Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While a wide range of predictors of postpartum smoking relapse have been suggested, population-based studies have rarely examined these factors exclusively among women who quit in early pregnancy. Furthermore, workplace secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure has never been examined.

Methods

We analyzed data from 10,466 pregnant women who participated in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. Age, education, parity, breastfeeding, postpartum depression, SHS exposure at home, and SHS exposure at work (not working, working without SHS exposure, working with SHS exposure) were evaluated as possible predictors. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between these factors and smoking relapse by 1 y
