The purpose of this study is to describe the relapse rate and characteristics of expectant fathers who quit smoking during their wives' pregnancy, to explore the influencing factors and triggering mechanisms,and describe their experience.
Participants will be invited to recall their smoking status and experience during their wife's pregnancy (all participants and required to complete the questionnaire, and some of them will be invited to participate in semi-structured interviews). In the quantitative study,participants need to finish the questionnaire,which includes the demographic information sheet, characteristics of smoking sheet, history of smoking cessation sheet, smoking hazard questionnaire, motivation to quit smoking sheet, ability to quit smoking sheet, alcohol consumption, exercise. In the qualitative study,participants need to participate in semi-structured interview.The interview begins with "Have you tried smoking cessation before? Why? What is the result", and explores in-depth analysis based on the participants' answers.

Smoking relapse rate
A true or false sheet in the questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline
Quality of relationship
The quality of relationship will be assessed by using the Relationship Satisfaction scale.It includes five items and a six-point response format was used, ranging from 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree'.
Time frame: Baseline
Withdrawal symptoms
The Cigarette Withdrawal Scale(CWS) is composed of 21 items, including four measuring depression-anxiety, four measuring craving, four measuring irritability-impatience, three measuring concentration difficulties, three measuring appetite-weight gain, and three measuring insomnia. The items were scored using a 5-point Likert-type scale (agree/disagree).
Time frame: Baseline
Self-efficacy level
Self-efficacy of participants against tobacco will be assessed by using by the Smoking Self-Efficacy Questionnaire(SEQ-12). The SEQ-12 is categorized into two subscales, namely internal stimuli (6 items) and external stimuli (6 items), with total possible scores ranging from 6 to 30 for both internal stimuli and external stimuli. Higher scores of the SEQ-12 on both subscales indicate greater selfefficacy to refrain from smoking.
Time frame: Baseline
Dependence of nicotine
The level of nicotine dependence of the participants will be measured by the Fagerstrom Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scale. The FTND is a standard instrument for assessing the intensity of physical addiction to nicotine.The test was designed to provide an ordinal measure of nicotine dependence related to cigarette smoking. It contains six items that evaluate the quantity of cigarette consumption, the compulsion to use, and dependence. In scoring the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, yes/no items are scored from 0 to 1 and multiple-choice items are scored from 0 to 3. The items are summed to yield a total score of 0-10. The higher the total Fagerstrom score, the more intense is the patient's physical dependence on nicotine.

Self-awareness of the hazard of smoking
The self-awareness of the hazard of smoking among the participants will be measured by a self-designed smoking hazard questionnaire list. The 20-items questionnaire is developed according to the literature review content, focusing on the impact of smoking hazard on maternal and neonate health.Participants were asked to answer whether the knowledge about tobacco harm contained in the entry is correct: yes, no, or don't know (about 20% interference items).The higher the total score,the better the mastery of self-awareness of the hazard of smoking.
Time frame: Baseline
Smoking rationalization
The smoking rationalization will be measured by a 26-item scale within six dimensions (smoking functional beliefs, risk generalization beliefs, social acceptability beliefs, safe smoking beliefs, self-exempting beliefs, and quitting is harmful beliefs). Each item used a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neither disagree nor agree, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree, higher scores represent higher levels of rationalization).
