Smoking during pregnancy, 1967-80.

J C Kleinman and A Kopstein

Data from two national samples of live births to married mothers (the 1967 and 1980 National Natality Surveys) were used to document changes in smoking during pregnancy. Smoking among married teenagers remained essentially constant between 1967 and 1980. For married mothers age 20 and over, the prevalence of smoking during pregnancy decreased from 40 to 25 per cent among Whites and 33 to 23 per cent among Blacks. There were striking differences in the magnitude of the decrease by educational attainment. Among the White married mothers age 20 and over, the prevalence of smoking during pregnancy decreased from 48 to 43 per cent for those with less than 12 years education and from 34 to 11 per cent for those with 16 or more years education.
