Where can you get help?
With weekly telephone or face-to-face appointments and free vapes and NRT delivered to your door, our free, non-judgemental service will support you and your household members on your way to providing a smoke-free home.
How we can help
Our free 12 week virtual OR face-to-face programme helps those who are pregnant, 6 months post pregnancy and their partners, or other household members, to stop smoking for good.
The programme combines free stop smoking products with specialised support to help manage withdrawal symptoms and handle cravings, without reaching for a cigarette. Products that we do offer are Vapes and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to support you to be smoke free.
Led by our friendly in-house midwife, Andrea Price and our team of dedicated practitioners, we are able to provide one to one support to help stop smoking at any stage of the pregnancy.
Why quit if you’re pregnant?
Exposing an unborn baby to cigarette smoke can increase the risk of tragic outcomes throughout the pregnancy as well as post-birth. These include:
- Miscarriage
- Stillbirth
- Sudden infant death syndrome – SIDS (cot death)
If you are a pregnant smoker who spends a lot of time around other smokers, this can also increase the negative effect of smoke on the foetus. Research shows that 80% of second-hand smoke is invisible and odour-free, meaning unborn babies can still develop smoke-related complications from second hand smoke.
