CAMH launches website to help pregnant women quit smoking Smoking during pregnancy poses serious health risks for both mother and baby. Based on self-reported data, 10.5 per cent of Canadian women smoke while pregnant. Actual smoking rates are likely to be much higher, however. Studies indicate that pregnant women under-report smoking status, and that more than half of all women who smoke do not quit during pregnancy. In response the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) developed PREGNETS, a provincial website to help women who are pregnant, thinking about becoming pregnant or have just had a baby quit or reduce smoking. http://www.pregnets.org/
