The risks that smoking pose to the pregnant patient and her fetus have been well established. Some women quit smoking upon learning they are pregnant, but most do not. Although a direct, succinct intervention by the physician has proven to be a critical initial step in helping the patient to quit smoking, some physicians are not taking advantage of this opportunity. This article provides data obtained from focus groups conducted with pregnant West Virginia smokers. These women spoke very candidly about their experiences with their providers. Chances for succeeding with helping a patient to quit smoking are likely to increase if physicians discuss smoking with their patients at each visit and if it is done in a constructive manner.
吸烟对孕妇及其胎儿造成的风险已得到充分证实。一些女性在得知自己怀孕后就戒烟了，但大多数人并没有。尽管医生直接、简洁的干预已被证明是帮助患者戒烟的关键第一步，但一些医生并未利用这一机会。本文提供了从对西弗吉尼亚州吸烟孕妇进行的焦点小组访谈中获得的数据。这些女性非常坦诚地讲述了她们与医护人员打交道的经历。如果医生每次就诊时都与患者讨论吸烟问题，并且以建设性的方式进行，那么帮助患者戒烟成功的几率可能会增加。
