Honor Our Babies Health by Quitting Commercial Tobacco

It’s important to address the widespread misconception that vaping is a safer alternative to commercial tobacco use—especially during pregnancy. With support from the American Indian Cancer Foundation, we can educate communities on the real dangers of vaping, including its harmful effects on brain development, fetal growth, and the increased likelihood of transitioning to traditional tobacco products. Secondhand emissions from vaping also pose risks to newborns after birth. By dispelling myths—such as vaping being harmless or a proven way to quit smoking—and highlighting evidence from organizations like the Truth Initiative, we can empower individuals with knowledge and inspire action. Together, we can protect mothers, babies, and future generations through education, support, and community-led change.
