Smoking while pregnant: a serious risk to you and your baby!

It is crucial for any woman who is smoking while pregnant to quit entirely as soon as she learns she is expecting. Smoking while pregnant can pose significant risks to both the mother and the baby. If you’re pregnant and struggling with tobacco addiction, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss your options and find the best support to help you quit.

In South Africa, where smoking rates among adults remain a concern, it’s essential to know that local healthcare professionals can offer guidance tailored to your needs and help with effective, suitable quitting strategies.
