Episode Details

Vermont’s struggling with smoking during pregnancy, especially in rural areas where help is scarce—until now. A new smartphone app from the University of Vermont is changing the game: pregnant smokers take breath or saliva tests, earn cash rewards for staying smoke-free, and get support remotely. Inspired by a UK model but designed for the U.S. landscape, it’s built to work even without local clinics. Backed by a major federal grant and hailed by the FDA as a “breakthrough digital intervention,” the app could soon be prescribed like any other treatment—offering hope where help was once out of reach.
