Mums-to-be encouraged to quit smoking

Advice and Information - 1 March 2023

A team which supports new and expectant mums in Doncaster to quit smoking is raising awareness of the impact that smoking has on the health and wellbeing of their babies.
Stop Smoking

The Stop Smoking in Pregnancy and Beyond Team, which is run by Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), will be using No Smoking Day on March 8 to encourage smokers to quit the habit.

The team is encouraging pregnant women and new mums to join its 12 week support programme which start anytime during pregnancy and up to their babies first birthday.

Emma Dickinson, RDaSH Team Leader, said: “We are letting pregnant women and their partners know that there is support available to help them to stop smoking. Having a new addition to a family can be a great opportunity to ditch the smoking habit. We offer one-to-one motivation support to give them the best chance of success.”
