This is a specialist service for pregnant smokers, which aims to
help women who wish to quit.
The service is FREE of charge and offers intensive individual
support in your home or at your antenatal clinic, alongside the use
of Nicotine Replacement Therapy.
During the initial visit, the various products and preparation for
quitting are discussed, and a quit date is set with the Specialist
Smoking & Pregnancy Advisor. FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy
is available to ALL pregnant women quitting with the support of our
advisor, who will monitor dosage on a weekly basis. The advisor
will then visit the pregnant smoker for a further four weeks - the
main part of the withdrawal period.
Throughout the visits, advice is given on the most effective and
safest way to quit, which will benefit both mother and baby.
