Medical researchers and public health experts contend that smoking by pregnant women leads to health risks for their offspring as well as themselves. Social science researchers have produced a number of useful studies concerning factors determining smoking choices during pregnancy. This study contributes to the literature by providing evidence based on the widely cited National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The purpose of the paper is to describe and estimate multivariate models that reveal socioeconomic patterns in smoking behavior. Our results indicate that factors influencing the choice to smoke include age, employment status, earnings, race, and the individual's propensity to seek prenatal care. These estimates provide guidance with respect to constituencies that might be suitable targets for public policies intended to curtail smoking during pregnancy
