“Before I started the support sessions, I reached for a cigarette every time I got stressed. But by stopping smoking, I’ve proved to myself I can handle anything now without needing a cigarette.” TRACEY

At Leeds Stop Smoking Service we understand people can feel guilty about smoking while pregnant but also find it difficult to stop, or they worry that quitting will make them more stressed.

We can offer you:

• A home visit or clinic appointment.

• Free nicotine therapy to help with your cravings.

• Advice on e-cig use (vaping) in pregnancy and support for smokers who want to use an e-cig to quit tobacco.

• A confidential, friendly service.

• Free support throughout pregnancy and after your baby is born.

• Free app to use between sessions.

When you stop smoking, both you and your baby will benefit immediately from an increase in oxygen.

This means that the poisonous gas “carbon-monoxide” is no longer affecting your baby’s growth and development.

You will also reduce the risk of: • Miscarriage and stillbirth• Cot death• Premature labour • Complications during the birth• Birth defects
