Many pregnant women stopped smoking

 

Cigarette smoking during pregnancy declined in all 50 states and the District of Columbia between 2016 to 2021.

The drop in Alabama was to 6.1%...a 40% drop since 2016.

 

And yet, some states are in double digits!

 In 2021, levels of smoking during pregnancy ranged from a low of 0.8% in California to a high of 18.2% in West Virginia.
