Stop Smoking
If you are a smoker, stopping smoking will reduce the risk of:
- A miscarriage
- Premature birth (baby born before 37 weeks)
- Low birthweight baby
- Stillbirth
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
We want to help all pregnant mothers to stop smoking. We will support you in hospital-based appointments within Consultant-led clinics. We will also be offering routine referrals for all smokers to LivingWell Smokefree services to provide support.
To find out more about quitting and to get support for you or your partner, call the free NHS Smokefree National Helpline on 0300 123 1044.
