Smoking tobacco during pregnancy can have serious health consequences for both you and your baby. It is strongly advised to quit smoking as soon as possible when you become pregnant. Smoking increases the risk of complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It can also lead to long-term health problems for your child, including respiratory issues and behavioral problems. Secondhand smoke is equally harmful, so it's important to avoid exposure to smoke from others as well. Quitting smoking may be challenging, but there are resources available that can help you quit successfully. Talk to your healthcare provider for support and guidance in quitting smoking during pregnancy.
