Summary

Smoking during pregnancy is related to birth defects, preterm birth, and sleep-related deaths in infants. Providing screening and counseling during prenatal care visits can help pregnant women stop smoking. Population-based interventions — like cigarette price increases, media campaigns, and comprehensive smoke-free laws — can also help prevent pregnant women from smoking.
