I used to smoke quite often till I knew I was pregnant. When I knew I was expecting, I quit them altogether. I am now 4 months pregnant and when I see someone with a cigarette, I feel like having a go. How safe is it to smoke just one cigarette a day?

Dear me! Smoking either just one a day or a pack a day is equally harmful for your baby and you. No cigarette is actually a good cigarette when it comes to both your baby's and your health. So, brush aside those thoughts and continue to go without it. If your partner is a smoker, ask him to quit too. Passive smoking can be just as harmful for your baby.
