Description
Summary:	In Japan, we try to educate pregnant women on the dangers of smoking and the positive outcomes of quitting, but they cannot quit smoking with that support. So we developed a program for quitting smoking based on the counseling given by our medical staff. As a result, 76% of them succeeded in quitting smoking. But there was not the nursing care tool to show the nonsmoking process. We believe that it is important to measure the carbon monoxide level taken from someone when they exhale; the result is then able to determine the person's smoking history. It has proven to be an effective way of preventing pregnant women from smoking. So we want to find a developing nursing care tool for pregnant woman to quit first and secondhanded smoking using Micro-smokerizer.
