How shocking truths about smoking in pregnancy can have a big effect.
Kelly said: “Like my friend was smoking while she was pregnant and I think it was a leaflet or somet’ she had just randomly posted through her door. I can’t remember what it said but it put her right off and she stopped. Before that she was a really heavy smoker.”
Midwife Hull said: "Sometimes shock tactics can work but we try to provide hard facts rather than scaring people. We know that if you smoke babies tiny heart has to beat much harder and faster due to the reduced oxygen it is receiving. For some people this can be a scary fact for others it might be acceptable."
