Quitline

Baby & Me Tobacco Free Program

The Baby & Me Tobacco Free Program (BMTFP), offered in partnership with the Maryland Tobacco Quitline, helps participants quit nicotine during and after pregnancy, creating healthier beginnings and reducing tobacco’s impact across generations. Participants will receive 4 prenatal and 6 postpartum one-on-one counseling sessions with a tobacco treatment specialist. Additionally, participants can receive incentives for their baby’s needs. The Maryland Tobacco Quitline and BMTFP will soft refer to each other so the participant can be made aware of the additional services available. Participants can enroll in both programs simultaneously for additional support, incentives, and, if necessary, nicotine replacement therapy medications through the Maryland Tobacco Quitline with provider prescription. BMTFP has successfully helped over 40,000 participants during and after pregnancy, achieving a 60% quit rate.

BMTFP is providing training for Maryland Providers and Health Professionals to learn how to connect pregnant Marylanders who use tobacco or nicotine with free, evidence-based cessation support. This brief introductory training provides an overview of BMTFP including:
