Abstract

cessation interventions specifically designed for the postpartum period. METHODS We searched the literature for studies related to tobacco cessation in the postpartum period, utilizing the electronic databases PubMed and Scopus. The search strategy was developed using the following keywords in all combinations: ‘tobacco cessation’, ‘smoking cessation’, ‘quitting smoking’, ‘vaping cessation’ and ‘postnatal’, ‘postpartum’, ‘childbearing’, and ‘puerperium’. Various interventions were examined, including technology-based approaches, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological interventions.
