[The role of the community pharmacist in preventing smoking during pregnancy].
Being the most accessible health professionals, community pharmacists have a very important role in public information and health education. In the field of tobacco cessation, pharmacists are in the front line of contact with smokers and can propose the measure of expired carbon monoxide in order to help them in their decision to quit smoking. The pharmacists' involvement in smoking cessation is of particular importance for pregnant women because of the adverse maternal, fetal and infant outcomes of cigarette smoking during pregnancy.
