Celebrate Mothers Who Protect Children's Health

Mothers want to do everything possible to help their children develop into healthy adults. This month, CDC urges mothers to protect themselves and their children from the dangers of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke and also encourages family members to support moms in maintaining a tobacco-free life. Below is a list of the communication materials created in preparation for Mother’s Day.
