make a successful quit attempt and are rewarded with free diapers in the form of diaper vouchers for their success. Research has shown that incentives, such as diapers, are a unique and positive motivator to aid in behavior change. We know that encouraging pregnant women to quit smoking is vital to ensuring the best birth outcomes. Pregnant women who smoke have an extra motivation to quit - the health of their unborn child. Smoking during pregnancy can lead to low birthweight infants and premature births. In the longer term, maternal smoking during pregnancy is associate with a range of poor outcomes in children, including ADHD and cognitive dysfunction. Children who grow up in smoke-free homes enjoy many health benefits, so it is equally important to remain quit. To date, over 18,000 women and their families across the United States have benefited from this program. Laurie Adams, president and founder of the program, on learning of the designation states, "This 'Best Practice' designation is further confirmation that investing in healthy children begins with offering tailored support to pregnant women and their families. Many pregnant women who smoke are consumed by guilt and wish they could quit. We offer a way for these women to realize their dream of being free from the grip of tobacco addiction, at a time when it matters most to not only their health, but the health of their unborn children." For those interested in helping the next generation live tobacco-free and learning more about the "Baby & Me - Tobacco Free" program, including finding out where to go locally to enroll, we encourage you to visit Jennifer Leiby, 1400 Hudson Street, Elkhart.
