However, some methods to quit smoking are proven to be effective (cognitive and behavioral techniques, nicotine replacement therapy). Financial support would increase the use of these methods. Many international recommendations are going in this direction. If there is a time to quit smoking, it is during a pregnancy. If there is a time to subsidize the cost of effective supports to quit smoking, it is during a pregnancy.
