Shukla R, et al. - Use of tobacco among women, especially during pregnancy, is a public health concern. Hence, researchers sought to attain insight into the diverse nature of their tobacco consumption across the globe. They examined the prevalence of smoking, smokeless tobacco, and dual use among pregnant and non-pregnant women of reproductive age (15–49 y) using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted between 2010 and 2016 in 42 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The data yielded information on 1,310,716 women in 42 LMICs; Analysis revealed smoking prevalence of 0.69% among pregnant women and 1.09% among non-pregnant women. Findings indicated not-significantly lower relative risk ratios (RRR) for smoking and smokeless tobacco use among pregnant women vs non-pregnant women. Despite the added risk of foetal harm during pregnancy, no evidence suggested differences in the tobacco use between pregnant and non-pregnant women in 42 LMICs. Overall findings highlight the necessity to develop preventive and cessation interventions to lower tobacco use (smoking and smokeless) among women who are from low socio-economic status and less educated, as they bear the greatest burden of tobacco use.
