Here are some of the facts about smoking and pregnancy

* Stop smoking three months before trying to conceive-men and women.

* If you need to feel something in your mouth, chew sugar-free gum.

* If you smoke when you're pregnant you risk harming your unborn baby, having a miscarriage or giving birth to an underweight baby who is vulnerable to infections.

* The children of fathers who smoke 20 or more cigarette a day have a higher risk of cancer than children of non-smoking fathers. Smoking damages sperm, so prospective fathers should give up smoking.

*Smoking increases the Likelihood of cot death.

*No one should smoke in a house where there is baby or young child and don't let anyone who is smoking hold your child.
