Working Towards Being Smokefree for Baby

Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make in your pregnancy. When you smoke, so does your pēpi. Smoking exposes your pēpi to over 7000 chemicals and can cause many complications with your pregnancy and your pēpi. Even if you’ve smoked for some of your pregnancy, quitting now will make you and your pēpi healthier. Ask your GP or midwife about nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and for a referral for extra support.
