“…So the fi nding suggests that counselor efforts to motivate mothers to abstain from smoking may work most effectively on mothers with a preexisting concern about the health effects of children ' s SHSe. This is consistent with the results of Blackburn et al (2005) , who found that fathers ' knowledge about the risks of SHSe for infants predicted quit attempts. If more research confi rms this association, counseling mothers to fully understand the acute and cumulative risks that SHSe poses to their children should be tested as a possible means of increasing the effi cacy of the counseling program.…”

“…Such attempts to reduce the child's secondhand smoke exposure are commendable and can be further improved. A cross-sectional survey conducted by Blackburn et al ,24 in 2005, examining behavioural change in new fathers of infants aged 8–14 weeks old found that not smoking in the home appeared to be a more achievable goal as opposed to quitting. This has implications for the development of health promotion strategies to protect infants from passive smoking; avoiding smoking in the presence of infants or children in the household (a smoke-free policy at home) could be encouraged as an interim goal of behavioural change in the journey towards smoking cessation.…”

Secondhand smoke exposure during the prenatal and postnatal periods is associated with increased respiratory morbidity in children. Opportunistic screening and targeted smoking cessation counselling for parents at child hospital admissions and well-child outpatient visits, as well as preconception smoking cessation counselling for future pregnancies, may be beneficial to protect the child from negative health impacts.

“…The different result between mother and father is reasonable because pregnancy occurs only in women and some pregnant women live apart from their partner during the perinatal period in Japan (Ohga et al, 2005). To date, maternal smoking has been well researched, whereas paternal smoking has received little attention (Blackburn et al, 2005). Therefore, little is known about the determinants of paternal smoking cessation and our findings may contribute to filling an information gap on paternal smoking determinants.…”
