[HealthyTribes] New CDC factsheet on tobacco use during pregnancy

[Weston Tara E]

Good afternoon TPEP Grantees,

Recently the CDC released a new factsheet for health professional on tobacco us during pregnancy that might be of interest to several of you. Please see the attached document, as well as the link below.

The factsheet provides useful information and resources for healthcare and public health professionals on the health effects and prevalence of tobacco use during pregnancy and what can be done to help pregnant women be tobacco-free.  This factsheet addresses questions such as:

·         What about products that don’t burn, like electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco?

·         What about cutting back the number of cigarettes smoked without quitting?

·         What works to help pregnant women quit?
