Everyone Health offers FREE 12-week telephone or face-to-face stop smoking support for anyone who is pregnant or is up to 6 months after giving birth. We can also support partners and other household members living with someone who is pregnant or within 6 months post-pregnancy.
Our non-judgmental service will help create a safe, smoke-free home for the whole family.
How can we help?
Led by our friendly in-house midwife and our team of dedicated practitioners, we’re able to provide one-to-one support to help stop smoking at any stage of the pregnancy.
The programme combines free stop smoking products with specialised support to help manage withdrawal symptoms and handle cravings without reaching for a cigarette. We offer vapes and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that are delivered to your door.

Why quit if you’re pregnant?
When an unborn baby is exposed to cigarette smoke, it increases the risk of serious and tragic problems during pregnancy and after birth. These include:
- Miscarriage
- Stillbirth
- Sudden infant death syndrome – SIDS (cot death)
If you’re pregnant and spend a lot of time around other smokers, this can also increase the harm to your baby. Research shows that 80% of second-hand smoke is invisible and has no smell, meaning unborn babies can still develop smoke-related complications from second-hand smoke.
