TL;DR

A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that a low number of cigarettes smoked per day during the last three months before pregnancy was the best predictor for smoking cessation.

Abstract

In a national survey, 21% of the pregnant women reported smoking daily in the second trimester. Thirty-eight percent of the women who were daily smokers before the pregnancy stopped smoking in early pregnancy. A low cigarette consumption prior to the pregnancy was the best predictor for smoking cessation.
