About the Indicator: Smoking can increase a woman's risk of having a low-birthweight baby.  Low-birthweight babies face an increased risk of serious health problems during the newborn period, and chronic lifelong disabilities.  Smoking during pregnancy is also associated with a number of pregnancy complications.

According to Smoking-Attributable Mortality, Morbidity, and Economic Costs (SAMMEC), Minnesota's maternal smoking prevalence was 9.8% in 2004, as compared to the nation's 10.2%.
