Smoking cigarettes during pregnancy or after birth can significantly increase the chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Scientific evidence indicates that around 30% of sudden infant deaths could be avoided if mothers did not smoke whilst pregnant.

Taken together with the risks of smoking around a baby at home, this means that smoking could be linked to 60% of sudden infant deaths.
