Abstract
Objectives. We examined pregnant women’s use of cigarettes and other tobacco
products and the exposure of pregnant women and their young children
to secondhand smoke (SHS) in 9 nations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Methods. Face-to-face surveys were administered to 7961 pregnant women
(more than 700 per site) between October 2004 and September 2005.
Results. At all Latin American sites, pregnant women commonly reported that
they had ever tried cigarette smoking (range: 78.3% [Uruguay] to 35.0% [Guatemala]).
The highest levels of current smoking were found in Uruguay (18.3%),
Argentina (10.3%), and Brazil (6.1%). Experimentation with smokeless tobacco
occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and India; one third of all respondents
in Orissa, India, were current smokeless tobacco users. SHS exposure was
common: between 91.6%(Pakistan) and 17.1%(Democratic Republic of the Congo)
of pregnant women reported that smoking was permitted in their home.
Conclusions. Pregnant women’s tobacco use and SHS exposure are current or
emerging problems in several low- and middle-income nations, jeopardizing ongoing
efforts to improve maternal and child health.
