Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful gifts of the God. According to The World Health Organization, prevalence of smoking among women in developed countries is comparatively higher than underdeveloped
countries. The level of nicotine and thiocyanate in the blood of pregnant women is 20%–30%. Smoking during pregnancy, affects maternal and fetal health. It affects the fertility, perinatal mortality and increased
risk of spontaneous abortion among women while, low birth weight and preterm birth among infants. In addition, it is also associated with increased risks of ectopic pregnancies, placenta praevia, pre-eclampsia,
and reduced foetal outcomes including mortality, low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome. Moreover, small for gestational age (SGA), shorter length and smaller head circumference at birth are
reported among infants as an outcome of maternal smoking. Educational interventions regarding antitobacco campaigns and quit-smoking initiatives should be planned and implemented for pregnant women. There is need of sensitization regarding cessation of smoking among pregnant women.
