Abstract

Background: Urgent calls have been made to reduce the rates of smoking during pregnancy among Aboriginal women. Supporting Aboriginal women to quit smoking during pregnancy is the most significant, potentially modifiable, risk factor for adverse infant and maternal health, and supports the long-term enhancement of Aboriginal, including circulatory disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney and respiratory disease. Effective strategies for reducing smoking during pregnancy among Aboriginal woman have not been found.
