Fathers, Fertility and SmokingDads who smoke - the risks to your baby and your fertility

Your partner's pregnant. Great! But have you thought about the impact of your secondhand smoke?

If you expose your pregnant partner to secondhand smoke you're also exposing your baby to secondhand smoke, which contains thousands of toxic chemicals.

Becoming a father is an exciting and emotional time in your life. So it's a great opportunity for you to quit smoking - you can breathe more easily yourself, and give your baby a great start in life.
