Interventions
Control group participants received a face to face low intensity intervention which lasted 5 minutes and included brief advice and the provision of a leaflet on smoking and pregnancy. This leaflet summarized the main effects of smoking during pregnancy and gave clear short messages for encouraging smoking cessation by setting up a quit date.
Experimental group participants received a higher intensity intervention, which include: 30 minutes of individualized cognitive-behavioural counselling delivered by a trained health care professional and a self-help manual especially tailored for smoking cessation during pregnancy. Counseling was based at the "5 Αs" (Ask,Advise, Asses, Assist, Arrange). In addition to counselling, a self help manual especially tailored for smoking cessation during pregnancy for Greek women was provided.
