Overview

The Stickin' it up the smokes program encourages young Aboriginal women in South Australia to give up smoking during pregnancy to have healthier, stronger babies. This program was launched in March 2012 and aims to decrease smoking rates among pregnant Aboriginal women. It forms part of the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia's Maternal health tackling smoking project.
