This document discusses smoking among pregnant women aged 18-24 years. It notes that tobacco smoking causes many deaths globally each year. For pregnant women, smoking increases risks of miscarriage, premature birth, and long-term disabilities for the baby. Several behavioral change models are examined for promoting smoking cessation during pregnancy, including the health belief model, theory of reasoned action, and self-determination theory. Interventions should involve education, counseling, community support, and policies like smoking bans and taxes. Nurse play an important role in educating and motivating pregnant smokers to quit.

2. INTRODUCTION
Tobacco smoking caused 6.4 million death in 2015 globally (Choi,
et al., 2017).
Consequently 1 in every 10 death in the world is smoking-related ().
The prevalence of women indulging in smoking has risen recently,
with majority being young generation.
In the UK, Health and social care information centre (2016) found
11.4% of pregnant women smoke.
Health concerns
Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of foetal and
infant morbidity in UK including miscarriage

prematurely.
Other health related on the mother include lung cancer and heart
disease

Editor's Notes
scientists have attributed over 6.4 million deaths to smoking and its related illness in 2015 (Choi, et al., 2017). According to Carroll, et al., (2016), despite tobacco control in nearly all countries, there were over a billion smokers in the world as per 2015. In the UK, according to the survey conducted by Health and Social care Information centre (HSCIC, 2016), the prevalence of smoking among women during pregnancy was found to be 11.4% in the same period. Additionally, according to Doward and Simpson (2012) five out of 10 pregnant women aged between 18 and 24 continue smoking while pregnant, even though the numbers are decreasing. Tong et al., (2014) pointed out that smoking, in addition to lungs cancer and cardiovascular diseases, it increases the risks of pregnancy related complication and illness including likelihood of miscarriage, baby being born prematurely or low body mass or long-term learning and development problems
Eldredge et al., (2016) asserted that given the complexity of the smoking habits and subsequent health concerns, a comprehensive multilevel interventions is necessary to develop an effective program encompassing the environmental, psychological, political, cultural, and policy-driven that influence tobacco smoking. The widely used models currently being used in attempt to curb smoking and promote healthy living include; Behavioural change, environmental and Beattie in
These theorems are based on self-efficacy and motivation in promotion of individual health. This encompasses such theories as health belief, theory of Reasoned action, social cognitive theory and self-determination.

According to Green and Murphy (2014), Health belief model model postulates perception of the risk of smoking and seriousness of the underlying consequences such as cancer, heart disease, miscarriage, and permanent health damage to the baby. Developed by Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen in 1975, the theorem proposes a consideration of consequences of the outcome before engaging in health harming behaviour, in this case smoking. Montano and Kasprzyk (2015) stating that the model is based on three pillars; individual attitude, behavioural intention, and subjective norms in which a pregnant woman is expected to adhere to for both her and the child health
In social cognitive theory, smoking behaviour is obtained through observation, positive reinforcement, and peer influence. Martin et al. (2014) argued that the individuals could learn the benefits of not smoking from other people by observing the negative effects on their lives. According to this theorem, the health is determined by social, environmental, and individual elements.
According to Williams et al., (2016) and Eldredge et al., (2016) self-determination focuses on the factors that push a person into the smoking behaviour. It postulates that individuals are driven by social inclusivity and emotions especially at the tender and teenage years. Therefore, for effective mitigation of smoking, it necessitates to instil long-term life goals, development, and optimal way of obtaining them
The Tannahill intervention model: it incorporates health education on the side effects of smoking especially on young pregnant women, heath protection of both the mother and child can be achieved through legislation selling and distribution of tobacco products, and disease prevention (Raingruber, 2014).
According to Denford et al. (2016), ecological theorem and models: this promotes health as interaction between a social setting and individual. It encompasses such models as social ecological models focusing on person and environment intervention.
Legislative action: covers such actions as Increase taxes on tobacco products, minimizing the number of cigarette vending stations and limiting the number of smoking zones. The are mainly laws and regulations passed by either local or national government, but not exclusive to the socially observed rules.
Subsiding the available smoking cessation amenities and products
Health counselling: includes the advice on quitting smoking from general practitioner or a councillor and individual programmes and schedule on smoking cessation to motivate quitting
Health persuasion: this involves campaigning and adverting against smoking and encourage quitting, developing an interactive schedule and model for cessation programme such as Mobile App and increasing the number of GP and councillors both in social setting and hospitals.
Community development encompasses the development of a mentorship programme between former smokers and those working on quitting, also formulating a support groups and having designated areas for smoking and non-smoking zones in public places.
According to de Graaf et al. (2013), the public, practitioners and government needs to be inclusive and reduce judgemental perception on smoking women especially young and pregnant. Therefore, it rises the need to foster training and education on tackling smoking during pregnancy. Further, encourage referral to the specialist services in aim of curbing the effects of cessation and long-term health issues on both the baby and the mother. Lastly, offering regular carbon monoxide (CO) screening to monitor the health of the foetus.
Peadon et al. (2011) suggested that the nurses can change this trend by educating precisely and ensuring the expectant women are fully informed of the problems to not only the foetus but also her health. Most smokers revert due to lack of the motivating initiative, so nurses’ encouragements are required at this point. This is achievable by instilling the benefits of the cessation rather than the effects of withdrawal (Rice et al., 2013). Furthermore, according to Duaso and Duncan (2012), smoking cessation demands a collective initiative from the patients, social setup, and practitioners
