Recent news indicates that the antidepressant bupropion can help pregnant women curb their smoking. A research study was performed by Dr. Margaret S. Chisolm, and she found that women who are drug-dependent tend to continue smoking during pregnancy even though smoking is dangerous to their child just as the illicit drugs are dangerous.
Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, low infant birthweight, fetal death, and infant death.
So if your pregnant daughter is smoking, ask her doctor if bupropion would be appropriate for your daughter to help her stop smoking.
