This report presents the latest results and trends from the women's smoking status at time of delivery (SATOD) data collection in England.
The results provide a measure of the prevalence of smoking among pregnant women at Commissioning Region, Area Team and Clinical Commissioning Group level. This supplements the national information available from the Infant Feeding Survey (IFS).
Smoking during pregnancy can cause serious pregnancy-related health problems. These include complications during labour and an increased risk of miscarriage, premature birth, low birth-weight and sudden unexpected death in infancy.
Reports in the series prior to 2011-12 quarter 3 are available from the Department of Health website (see below).
