| description | Laws have been enacted by the Ministry of Health to protect health against smoking. We aimed to contribute to the literature by examining the opinions of the citizens of the Republic of Turkey, which was presented as a role model by the World Health Organization in the fight against smoking, and of Syrian refugees whose public life was disrupted and migrated due to the war, as well as was examined the effectiveness of the Ministry of Health's practices in this field on pregnant women. The universe of the study consisted of pregnant women who applied to the Harran University Chest Diseases Clinic between December 2019 and April 2021. The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 208 pregnant women who agreed to participate in the study. In the collection of the data, a participant identification form, which includes socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics, and a questionnaire to define the opinions of pregnant women on the anti-smoking practices of the Ministry of Health were applied to pregnant women. This study group consisted of 54.3% Syrian Refugee pregnant women and 45.7% of Turkish citizen pregnant women. This study was determined that 63% of Syrian refugee pregnant women and 37% of Turkish pregnant women smoked during their last pregnancy. A significant difference was found between the groups according to the age, presence of a smoker in the family, the smoking status of their spouse, and "State of knowledge of health problems caused by smoking" of Syrian Refugee and Turkish citizens pregnant. Our study is the first study that examines the opinions of pregnant regarding the smoking cessation practices of the Ministry of Health in the field and compares Syrian refugee-Turkish citizens pregnant. Active smoking of pregnant and the rate of exposure to passive smoking by their spouse or others living in-house suggest that smoking is still a major threat for pregnant. It has shown that the practices of the Ministry of Health in the field are known and supported by pregnant, but these practices are far from the inspection mechanisms.
