step you can take to make sure you have a healthy and happy pregnancy and to
give you baby the best start in life.
The Rotherham smoking in pregnancy team is a free specialist
service to support women to stop smoking during their pregnancy.
Many women who want to give up smoking often feel guilty
that they smoke. The stop smoking team knows how hard it can be to quit smoking
and doesn’t judge women who smoke. You are four times more likely to quit
smoking with our help.
