What's the best way to stop smoking when you're pregnant?
When a pregnant woman wishes to stop smoking, non-medicinal approaches are preferred, from relaxation sessions to cognitive-behavioral therapies and discussion groups. Nicotine substitutes (in the form of patches, lozenges, gums, sprays, etc.) are the only authorized medications and will be prescribed if non-medication methods prove insufficient. Although they contain nicotine, they are less harmful than cigarettes, which expose you to many harmful substances. Don't hesitate to consult your doctor.
