Nicotine addiction & Pregnancy
When you light a cigarette in pregnancy, you're not the only one who smokes - your baby does too.
It is never too late to stop smoking. Every cigarette you decide not to smoke will help you and your and baby's health.
Smoking in pregnancy can cause increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and low birth weight.
Secondhand smoking is also known to be the cause of Sudden Death Syndrome and childhood respiratory disease.
To quit smoking is the most effective action you can take to protect your own health, their child's or, if if you're pregnant, your baby's health too.
