question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Pregnant Mothers and Infants Health
Protection Act of 1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) According to recent figures, 14 percent of pregnant
mothers admit to smoking tobacco during pregnancy.
(2) Smoking tobacco during pregnancy significantly
increases maternal and fetal risk, and causes 20 percent to 30
percent of the low birth weight rate and 10 percent of the
fetal and infant death rate in the United States.
(3) Mothers who smoke both during and after pregnancy have
nearly a 3 fold increase in the risk of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS), as compared to mothers who do not smoke.
(4) Smoking during pregnancy has been associated with
certain childhood cancers and birth defects, and it increases
the risk of spontaneous abortion, premature rupture of
membranes, and delivery of a stillborn infant.
(5) Smoking during pregnancy may impede the growth of the
fetus and increase the likelihood of mental retardation by 50
percent.
(6) The proportion of women who quit smoking during
pregnancy but relapse at 6 months postpartum is nearly 63
percent, thereby exposing their infants to passive smoke and
increasing their risk for SIDS and other health related
problems.
(7) Effective prenatal smoking cessation interventions
increase the rate of smoking cessation during pregnancy.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

It is the purpose of this Act to establish, within the Department
of Health and Human Services, a comprehensive program to help prevent
prenatal and postnatal smoking. Such program shall--
(1) coordinate, support, and conduct national, State and
community-based public awareness, prevention, and education
programs on prenatal and postnatal smoking;
(2) support, coordinate, and conduct basic and applied
research concerning prenatal and postnatal smoking and its
effects; and

surveillance programs.
