Women

Even if you’ve been smoking for years, it’s not too late to quit and stop putting your health and your life at risk.

If you want to quit speak to the local stop smoking service (TASK) on 01706 708000. Getting help to quit smoking means you are four times more likely to succeed, so if nothing has worked for you, give them a call.  You can also see your doctor, ask at your pharmacy or contact the health trainers.

The team can also help you to make your home and car Smoke Free - helping you to quit and creating a safer environment for you and your family.

Smoking during pregnancy

Smoking during pregnancy can cause serious problems including complications during labour, increased risk of miscarriage, premature birth and even stillbirth.

Many women quit smoking during pregnancy and go on to stay Smoke Free after their baby is born. If you are still trying to conceive, making a Smoke Free pledge could also improve your fertility.

Call the NHS Pregnancy Smoking Helpline on 0800 169 9 169 for help and support.
