Figure 1. Prepregnancy smoking prevalence by maternal race/ethnicity and age among women who recently delivered a live birth, 32 states and New York City, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, 2004-2008. Prepregnancy smoking prevalence is defined as the percentage of women who
recently delivered a live birth who self-reported smoking during the 3 months before pregnancy; error bars represent 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prepregnancy smoking prevalence. Prepregnancy
prevalence comparing women aged 18 to 24 years with women aged 25 years or older was significant (P < .05, χ2
test) for the overall study population and within all racial/ethnic groups.

Figure 2. Proportion of prepregnancy smokers by average number of cigarettes smoked per day, by maternal race/ethnicity and age among women who recently delivered a live birth, 32 states and New York City, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), 2004-2008. Prepregnancy smoking is defined as self-reported smoking of any amount of cigarettes during the 3 months before pregnancy. Proportion of prepregnancy smokers by average number of cigarettes smoked per day was significant
(P < .05, χ2 test) comparing women aged 18 to 24 years with
women aged 25 years or older for the overall study population and among non-Hispanic
whites. PRAMS data available for 2004-2008, except where noted: Alaska,
Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware (2007-2008), Florida (2004-2005), Georgia, Hawaii,
