The Stop Smoking in Pregnancy and Beyond Team at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) is visiting Family Hubs across Doncaster handing out leaflets and providing advice to pregnant women.

Mary Baggaley, Health Promotion Practitioner, at RDaSH, 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.”
