Interventions

OTHER

Prenatal Massage

We will utilize moderate pressure Swedish massage (SM) that utilizes long slow strokes known as effleurage and kneading strokes known as petrissage. A specific routine will be performed on each participant with focus on low back, upper back, shoulders, and neck musculature. Consistent moderate pressure, which is lighter than deep tissue massage but deeper than brush strokes, will be used.

OTHER

Mindfulness

The intervention and control group will be enrolled in the Craving to Quit® program, a 21-day mindfulness-based program delivered via a smartphone application (https://www.cravingtoquit.com/). This program uses a mindfulness-based approach to train people to recognize and be aware of their tobacco cravings. The program includes videos, online exercises to complete, and a virtual support community.
