Literature is scant regarding smoking habits of pregnant women in Jordan. Objectives: To investigate smoking patterns and attitudes of Jordanian pregnant women towards smoking. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of patterns and attitudes towards smoking among 436 mothers attending healthcare facilities in the Governorate of Irbid, Jordan, between August and September 2019. Results: Out of 436 pregnant women in the Governorate of Irbid, Jordan, 13 (2.9%) quit smoking once pregnancy was conformed, and 77 (17.6%) continued to smoke. Pregnant non-smokers believed that hookah and electronic cigarettes are as bad to health as cigarettes, while smokers believed that hookah and electronic cigarettes are less hazardous than cigarettes (5.19% versus 21.99%, p = 0.001, and 6.49% versus 19.37%, p = 0.009, respectively). Non-smokers were significantly more aware regarding the hazards of smoking on perinatal outcomes, such as abortion (31.94% versus 10.39%, p = 0.001), placental abruption (31.94% versus 10.39%, p = 0.001), intrauterine growth restriction and fetal malformations (36.65% versus 14.29%, p = 0.007), fetal death (30.89% versus 6.49, p < 0.001), neonatal pulmonary diseases (44.50% versus 24.68%, p = 0.024), neonatal asthma (47.12% versus 28.57%, p = 0.038), and ear diseases (42.41% versus 20.8%, p = 0.012). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of smokers among pregnant women in Jordan. The level of awareness regarding long-term consequences of tobacco use remains low. Educational programs should include information about the hazards of all forms of smoking. Pregnancy provides a good opportunity for promoting smoking cessation.Jehan HamadnehShereen HamadnehZouhair AmarinSoha Al-BeitawiUbiquity PressarticleInfectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216Public aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENAnnals of Global Health, Vol 87, Iss 1 (2021)
