We all know of the serious health risks that come with a smoking habit, as well as the sheer expense that smoking entails these days. Both of these are fairly compelling reasons for you to consider quitting, and we’re here to help.

Exposing an unborn baby to cigarette smoke can cause worrying complications throughout the pregnancy as well as for the baby, post-birth. These include:

  • Premature birth
  • Defects of the mouth
  • An increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

If you are a pregnant smoker who spends a lot of time around other smokers, this can also increase the negative effect of smoke on the foetus. Research shows that 80% of second-hand smoke is invisible and odour-free, meaning unborn babies can still develop smoke-related complications from second hand smoke.
