Brief summary
Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of many adverse health outcomes for both the mother and the unborn child. Indigenous people often have a higher smoking prevalence during pregnancy than non-Indigenous populations. In New Zealand (NZ), the smoking rates among indigenous Maori women who are pregnant have reduced over the last 20 years, however the prevalence still remains high. In NZ the number of pregnant smokers who use smoking cessation interventions is low. In other populations of pregnant women, financial incentives have been shown to increase the attractiveness of smoking cessation programs and increase the number of quit attempts.
