There are some epidemics that aren’t so great when it comes to taking the world by surprise and one of them is the rise of mothers who smoke during pregnancy. Whether you smoke socially or are addicted to that dose of nicotine, once you become pregnant you should make every effort to quit.

Not only is smoking bad for the mother, but it is also extremely harmful to a developing fetus. We have started a campaign to reduce and completely annihilate the fact that women smoke during pregnancy.
