A program was developed by the authors to assist pregnant women to quit or curtail smoking in accordance with N. J. Pender's health promotion theory of targeting subjects' behavior-specific cognition and affects. The following factors were examined to see how they affected continuity of non-smoking behavior during the early stages of pregnancy: - Feelings of self-efficacy - Motivation to smoke - Ways of coping with stress - Attachment to the unborn childlt was found that feelings of self-efficacy and attachment to the unborn child increased, while motivation to smoke decreased over time. It was also found that the subjects who quit smoking entirely (Group C) had different ways of coping with cessation stressors than the subjects who moderated their smoking (Group T).All the research subjects who participated in the program either achieved full smoking cessation (76.9%) or were able to cut down on their smoking (23.1%). The subjects in Group T cut their smoking to 5 cigarettes a day or less.
