| 2/6/06 - | Smoking Mothers-to-be Continue to be a Threat to Tioga County Infants. In 2003 only 67.5% of pregnant women reported they did NOT smoke during their pregnancy. This would indicate that in 2003, over one-third of pregnant Tioga County women smoked. This is a dramatic decrease from 2002 when 79.3% indicated they did not smoke during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy reduces the amount of oxygen received by the baby causing it to grow more slowly and gain less weight (March of Dimes). Babies exposed to tobacco in the womb are at a higher risk for perinatal mortality and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). View Tobacco Use report., View Maternal and Infant Health report. |
