Abstract

Background: Pregnant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s smoking prevalence rates remain high compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. The National Closing the Gap Campaign includes two key targets: reducing the number of babies born with low birth weight and reducing tobacco smoking during pregnancy by 2030. These targets have the potential to decrease the prevalence of cancer and chronic diseases for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
