Smoking by profile: pregnant, teen, athlete, senior, LGBTQ+

We do not all smoke the same way, we do not all quit the same way. A pregnant woman, a 16-year-old, an amateur athlete, a 70-year-old senior, someone facing financial hardship or a member of the LGBTQ+ community: each has their own reasons to smoke, their own obstacles to quitting, their own resources.

This category gathers articles that speak directly to specific audiences. You will find non-judgmental advice for quitting during pregnancy, clear information on breastfeeding, on second-hand smoke around children, on the specifics of female and male smoking patterns, on quitting after 60 (truly never too late), on the issues facing under-represented populations in prevention campaigns, and on access to care for people with disabilities.

If you recognise yourself in one of these profiles, start your reading there — you will save time.
