The importance of smoke-free environments for a developing fetus and for children is widely recognized. Many authors have shown multiple adverse effects of future parents’ smoking on pregnancy outcomes, including the health of babies and children (Andres and
Day, 2000; Brook, Brook and Whiteman, 2000; Cornelius, Leech, Goldschmidt and Day,
2000; Haustein, 1999; Kallen, 2000a; Kallen, 2000b; Landau, 2001; Pastrakuljic,
Derewlany and Koren, 1999).
Pregnancy influences smoking patterns and is an opportune time for the promotion of a smoke-free environment (Ford, Wild, Glen, Price and Wilson, 1993). Many studies in different countries have examined the possible predictors of smoking cessation during or prior to pregnancy. Most conclude that the mothers’ education, age, parity (O’Campo,
Faden, Brown and Gielen, 1992) and number of cigarettes smoked are the best predictors of smoking cessation prior to or during pregnancy (Eriksson et al., 1998; Jane et al.,
2000; Madeley, Gillies, Power and Symonds, 1989). However, living with a smoking partner and other socio-economic characteristics are often found to predict continuation of smoking during pregnancy. A number of papers describe methods for promoting smoking cessation in pregnancy and the preconditions for their effectiveness (Carrion,
Maya, Pont, Tortajada and Marin, 2003; Lawrence, Aveyard, Evans, and Cheng, 2003).
Although the problem is well recognized by the international medical community,

    Explain How to Plan a Small Scale Campaign

    We developed an understanding of the long and short term risks with smoking through researching on the internet on websites to do with cancer research and ASH. We discovered a lot of benefits to stopping smoking. One benefit was that their life expectancy increased and stopping also helped their lungs to recover and decreased the risk of contracting diseases such as Emphysema. We found information about pregnant women and their unborn children and how smoking can effect them. We found that the child could be miscarried, or they could have a considerably lower birth rate compared to other children whose mothers didn’t smoke during their pregnancy. Furthermore, we also found information about how harmful passive smoking is to children and adults. We found out that young children could experience cot death and become deaf through middle ear disease. Furthermore, we found information supporting that adults could contract lung cancer through passive smoke which we found was 80% invisible.…

    Insurance acts as intermediary between buyer and provider and has no incentive to provide a better price or higher quality. This is especially true in the movement from the medical model to the business model of health care. “The United States spends more on healthcare than any other country in the world, in 2008 US healthcare costs were 2.3 trillion or 7,000 per capita. The US per capita cost is 45% greater than our northern neighbor Canada, and 33% greater than Norway”. (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2011). The business model is profit based. Requiring a profit almost always includes streamlining of services and mandating cost controls. Both of which limit the insured’s access to services, drugs, and new technology.…

    Brief Summary Of Stoke-On-Trent: A Case Study

    Smoking is the cause of many of the health issues encountered when reviewing the health summary for Stoke-on-Trent. The amount of smoking related deaths is 427.9/100,000 for people aged 35 and over; very close to England’s worst (471.6). Smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. The mortality rate is significantly higher in this city from CVD than England’s average and close to England’s worst for cancer (183.9/100,000 for people aged under 75, 202.9 for England’s worst). A smoker’s CVD risk is exacerbated if also having diabetes; important as percent of recorded diabetes here is higher than England’s average. Deprivation, another problem in this city, is much higher than England’s average and is linked to the high smoking related deaths. People in more deprived areas are more likely to smoke than those of lower deprived areas. Finally, smoking status at time of delivery is higher than England’s average and can be linked to the high number of infant mortality (6.7/1,000 live births); very close to England’s worst (7.6). Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of infant mortality. Smoking is thus an important health issue here that needs addressing.…

    Impact Of Prenatal Cocaine Exposure

    Prenatal nicotine exposure has been found to have avoidable effects on children and their mothers. Studies have shown that prenatal exposure can cause not only mental, but also physical harm on children that can ultimately cause life-course harm (Cho, Frijters, Zhang, Miller & Gruen, 2013). For example, a study resulted that nicotine exposure during prenatal can have damaging effects on the development of drugs in the offspring and ultimately cause wheezing in children (Gibbs, Collaco, &Mcgrath-Morrow, 2016). It was also shown that this prenatal exposure can cause poor cognitive scores in school (Cho, Frijters, Zhang, Miller & Gruen, 2013). Although there are extensive risks of prenatal exposure to nicotine…
