Children and Tobacco are a Dangerous Combination
Whether you’re pregnant, a mom, dad, grandparent or family member living with a young child, quitting smoking is one of the best things that you can do for yourself and your family. But it’s not easy. That’s where Moms Quit Connection for Families comes in.
Mom’s Quit Connection has been helping pregnant and postpartum women quit smoking since 2001. Now Mom’s Quit Connection has created MQC for Families, because dads, grandparents and anyone else living with or caring for a child plays a critical role in that child growing up tobacco free.
Mom’s Quit Connection (MQC) for Families provides free, one-on-one counseling for pregnant and postpartum women; moms, dads, and family members who want to quit smoking to protect children, 7 and under, from exposure to harmful tobacco smoke.
A qualified Quit Coach helps you start thinking about quitting smoking and create your individual quit plan.
Quit Coaches are available to meet with you, at your convenience face-to-face or by phone.
MQC for Families offers small rewards to help you celebrate your achievements and success throughout every step of your journey.

Protect your kids from secondhand smoke
Smoking isn’t just harmful to smokers, but also to the ones they love. Children living with smokers are more likely to get asthma attacks, ear infections, and serious respiratory illnesses like pneumonia and bronchitis due to secondhand smoke. Second hand smoke is the smoke from the end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by a smoker. This smoke has over 7,000 harmful chemicals that get trapped in children’s lungs when they breathe, causing serious and long-lasting health issues.
