Examples of barriers and facilitators experienced by participants.

Influence of Others
B:	Participant 9: “Well quite a few of my family smoke, so, I mean I’d say that tempts me to smoke when they’re around and stuff”
F:	Participant 1: ““I started to feel funny after having like a fag … so I turned to my partner when I had enough of it and I was like ‘just don’t let me have one even if I beg for it’ and he didn’t so here I am”
Internal motivation
B:	Participant 6: “… the second I found out [about being pregnant] I did want to quit, but I just couldn’t do it this time … I just couldn’t stop”
F:	Participant 10: “the only reason why I quit was because I was pregnant, so I mean, if I hadn’t fallen pregnant, I’d probably still be smoking cigarettes now”
Cues to smoke
B:	Participant 1: “I wasn’t pleased [about smoking] but I was like in a really stressful place”
F:	Participant 4: “But now sitting on a bus I’d get up and move seats just to move away from a smoker because I can’t stand the smell”
Health
F:	Participant 4: “… because it’ll [staying quit] also help my health because I’ve got asthma and osteoarthritis as well, so it’s like if I stop smoking it helps with my health because it helps with my lungs and my asthma, but then it also helps if I’ve got more energy …” (Existing health conditions)
F:	Participant 3: “It was just that I kept being sick so I didn’t have the inclination to want to smoke just in case it made me worse” (Pregnancy related health issues)
F:	Participant 5: “If it put my children in danger … Like if my daughter stopped growing while she was inside me” (Babies’ health)
