What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of births that were to mothers who smoked and/or used tobacco during pregnancy. |
| Why this is important: Smoking during pregnancy poses risks for both mother and fetus. A baby born to a mother who has smoked during her pregnancy is more likely to have less developed lungs and a lower birth weight, and is more likely to be born prematurely. It is estimated that smoking during pregnancy causes up to ten percent of all infant deaths. Even after a baby is born, secondhand smoking can contribute to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), asthma onset, and stunted growth. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to decrease the percentage of women who gave birth and who smoked cigarettes during pregnancy to 1.4%. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the Wyoming state value.Due to changes in reporting, rates for the years 2007 and after are not comparable to data collected previously. |
