  1. Interesting. I wonder how many are using nicotine via vapes.

  2. Tools: Python Flask Plotly. Data: CDC Wonder Natality Database.

    This chart is adapted from an interactive plotly chart, which is why 3 very small segments (Native American Immigrant, Multi-Racial Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Hawaiian or Pacific Islander) appear in the legend but without being displayed as lines.

    The racial / hispanic categories are self-identified and are those used by the US census and the CDC. Hispanics of any racial category are coded as Hispanic instead of as their self-identified race.

    Anyone have any insights on why the trend seemed to accelerate in 2021?

  3. I’m actually stunned at this, it should be a criminal offence to knowingly damage the health of your child. And I’m a smoker 

  4. Does this consider the period of time when women don’t know they’re pregnant? I would assume a decent amount would be that.

  5. I’m dubious that we have cut the rate in half in the last 9 years.

  6. I thought the % of mothers who smoke is close to 0 and not that high.

  7. All nativities? You mean all nationalities? u/ElephantLife8552

  8. lol…something to me sounds weird with “Native American Immigrants”. Is this meant to show the deltas between on/off res communities?
