Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy It is very important to stop smoking during your pregnancy for you and your child. Treatment with nicotine substitutes during pregnancy requires medical advice and monitoring.

Breastfeeding If you smoke a lot and you do not plan to quit smoking, you should not breastfeed your child but resort to artificial breastfeeding.

Pharmacist’s advice

It is important to follow the protocol for chewing gum. Smokers who want to quit tend to use gum like chewing gum. By using it in this way, not all of the nicotine passes into the bloodstream and therefore is not effective enough. Relapse is often due to excessive weight gain, lack of gestures and lack of encouragement from those around you (see tolerance). To avoid gaining weight due to stopping smoking, if you lack the "cigarette" gesture and if you do not know what to do with your hands, we advise you to drink a large glass of water, to eat an apple, exercise and occupy your hands with a pencil... Ask those around you not to smoke in your company, in the house, at the office or in the car. Knowing how difficult it is for a smoker to quit, those around you who smoke will respect your request.
