The number of women who smoke during pregnancy continues to decline, dropping to 14% in 1995, a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report says. Exposure to tobacco in the womb has been linked to low birth weight and other health problems, even sudden infant death syndrome. The report also found that teen birth rates fell 4% from 1994 to 1995.
