Abstract

Smoking during pregnancy or near an infant has potential health risks. Therefore, quality smoking cessation strategies for childbearing adolescents are essential in preventing and ending smoking habits. The S.M.A.S.H Out Cigarettes Website (http://www.smashoutcigarettes.org) combines evidence-based practices from traditional and Web-based smoking cessation programs in an easily accessible tool that offers an alternative approach to smoking cessation specifically designed for childbearing adolescents.
