Data suggests that most women quit smoking when pregnant, but a new federal report shows that one in 14 women still smokes while expecting. The habit is linked to health issues for both women and their infants, including low birthweight, preterm births and birth defects.
The report, based on national birth certificate data, shows that 7.2% of women in the United States who gave birth in 2016 smoked during their pregnancy. The report is the first to show data from all 50 states and Washington D.C.
