Local group trying to help women quit smoking while pregnant
Evansville- You've probably heard that Indiana is among the states with highest smoking rates, but did you know that rates of women smoking while pregnant are also high?
Smokefree Communities is hosting a workshop this morning they're hoping will help bring that number down.
In Indiana 17 percent of pregnant women smoke-- that's nearly twice the national average.
In Vanderburgh County that number is even higher with 22 percent of expectant mothers smoking.
