Protecting your baby from tobacco smoke is one of the best things you can do to give your child a healthy start in life. It can be difficult to stop smoking, but it's never too late to quit.

Effects of smoking during pregnancy -  Smoking even one cigarette exposes you and your baby to over 4,000 chemicals (NHS, 2017). It also means less oxygen and important nutrients can reach your baby through the placenta (RCOG, 2015).

Carbon monoxide from every cigarette smoked reduces the amount of oxygen that your baby requires for 20 minutes.

Good news! Within 24 hours of quitting carbon monoxide is eliminated from your body.

It might not be comfortable reading but the risks of smoking in pregnancy must be made clear.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is used to help people stop smoking and is a safe form of treatment, including during pregnancy.    Long term studies have found no harm to the fetus from using NRT in pregnancy and unlike smoking; NRT delivers a clean form of nicotine and no carbon monoxide.  NRT works by reducing the urges to smoke and other withdrawal symptoms, thereby making stopping smoking a bit easier.

There are currently 7 different products available (see photo).  These products all have a different amount of nicotine; vary in the way they are delivered and how quickly they work.  Combination of 2 nicotine products (Patch plus oral therapy) is the most effective option for pregnant women.
