Study findings identified smoking and alcohol use as habits among some women during pregnancy and, consequently, the need for improving care because of their superficial knowledge regarding tobacco and alcohol use. The findings underscore the importance of strengthening measures and establishing new strategies that ensure women's understanding, empowerment, and choices-from the beginning of childbearing age-regarding habits during pregnancy.
