Abstract
Smoking is not only a modifiable risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, it is primarily a risk factor for the development of pathology of the respiratory system, eventually turning into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The high prevalence of tobacco smoking among pregnant women, confirmed by numerous studies, demonstrates the underestimation of the high risks of COPD development. The present study substantiates the relevance of timely detection of pathological changes in the bronchi in smokers in primary care and the formation of motivations to quit smoking. It is the desired pregnancy that can cause complete cessation of smoking, thereby reducing the risks of developing not only the pathology of the smoker's lungs, but also the pathology of the fetus.
