The 2003 edition of Expecting to Quit has been the foundation of the design and delivery of tobacco interventions for pregnant women across Canada and internationally and the authors hope that the current edition will have a similarly wide impact. They are currently completing a new guide on brief women-centred interventions entitled Liberation! A Guide to Women-Centred Tobacco Treatment. They are also working with anti-violence, addictions and mental health services serving women, on the integration of trauma-informed tobacco interventions in these treatment and support contexts. Building on a decade of such achievements, BCCEWH is hoping to continue to collaborate with organizations such as yours to keep women’s tobacco use as a priority policy, research, and knowledge transfer issue.
