Quit for You
Quit for Two
Did you know that 8,000 babies are born each year to women who smoked during pregnancy in Washington state? And that more than 40 percent of women who quit smoking while pregnant begin again after giving birth? Smoking while pregnant and after the baby is born is harmful to the health of both mother and baby, increasing the chances of asthma and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Quit for You Quit for Two is a new campaign designed to help pregnant and post-partum women quit smoking. Check out the Quit for You Quit for Two page to learn more and download helpful information. The page includes resources for both pregnant women and health care providers.
