CDC developed a comprehensive infographic on e-cigarette use and published a National Center for Health Statistics data brief detailing tobacco use among pregnant women.

Cigarette smoking during pregnancy was shown to differ across states, as well as by maternal age, race and Hispanic origin, and educational attainment. Smoking during pregnancy was most common among women aged 20–24, non-Hispanic AIAN mothers, and women with a high school education or less.
