Environmental tobacco exposure is a serious public health issue and a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes.The primary environmental source of tobacco exposure for pregnant women is their spouses.However,there is insufficient attention given to the smoking and cessation behaviors of this specific group.To more effectively control tobacco exposure among pregnant women,it is crucial to understand the current status of passive smoking in this population and address its associated risks.This article highlights the current state of passive smoking among pregnant women and the progress in intervention measures,urging healthcare professionals to pay attention to secondhand smoke exposure during pregnancy and mitigate its adverse effects.The situation of passive smoking among pregnant women is severe.Future improvements in secondhand smoke intervention can be achieved through a combination of policy guidance,pharmacological interventions,and health education.Additionally,extending the scope of secondhand smoke interventions to those preparing for pregnancy could advance the intervention window period,preventing the harm caused by environmental tobacco exposure.
