Although prior studies have shown that smoking reduces preeclampsia/eclampsia risk, the
consequence of giving up this habit during pregnancy should be assessed. The aims of the
current study were threefold: (i) describe maternal characteristics of women with preeclampsia/
eclampsia; (ii) examine a possible association between the number of cigarettes smoked
daily during pregnancy and the development of this affliction; and (iii) determine if first-trimester
discontinuation of smoking during pregnancy influences the risk.
